Thunder
Sometimes I have to wonder
Who would I have been
Had lonely days of torture
Not left white marks on my skin
Was I always doomed to be
A broken girl with a broken heart
Or did somewhere along the way
I make a choice to fall apart
Would I have been happy
And would I have been whole
Would I have not lost
All the things this struggle stole
Would I have known sorrow
Would I have known pain
Would my heart have worn
This repulsive ****** stain
I would’ve held together
I wouldn’t have fallen apart
And maybe there’d be a delicate
Sort of beauty to my heart
But the person I would have been
Would’ve been far too weak
Not able to live through the struggle
Unable to find words to speak
Kept quiet by her life’s perfection
Silenced by her world’s clear skies
Pacified with fluffy clouds
Never to hear her own heart’s cries
Now I’ll be hurt, and I’ll be broken
But I’ll wear my scars like jewels
And today I know what they
Can’t seem to teach in schools
I know just how to come alive
I know how to live through this rain
And isn’t it dangerous that
I know how to live with pain
I won’t be silenced anymore
Because my fluffy clouds turned black
I lost the battle to win the war
And I’m done looking back
I’m not who I could have been
And when I start to wonder,
I remind myself, only under dark clouds
Are there roars of thunder
