The wind so strong it crushes bones
Through the ears it leads thoughts astray
None but the brave leave their homes
For fear it will blow them away

This is why my space is challenged
Shelter from the storm I seek
Every muscle works to keep me balanced
An loathes the state that renders me weak

To weather the storm and journey afar
Where you cringe in the arms of your tribe
How I yearn to struggle to get where you are
Yet return to my cave, alone, alive

Banish the thought you can see the light
That shines on a soul too beaten to be bright
