I am afraid of a thing. That thing I don’t even know what is. *Fire rises to **** stealing life and rain* It purges the land of everything ‘Till there’s nothing left to stand. I am afraid of something. Of something I cannot name. Storm and thunder are here A swirling mass of destructive winds Breaking people and mortal beings. What am I afraid of, I can’t say. What are you afraid of? I can’t answer. The grounds get up to meet the bees They get up to curse the sky Why do you even bother, if you’re just going to lie? I am afraid of a being I cannot name. I am scared of something, of something I can’t stand. The thunder and lightning crash Forceful enough to blow away most things We die protecting. I am afraid of a storm. The storm that, inside me, rages on. I fight to keep it in, keep it hidden. But I am losing, that I’m aware of. And one day, the storm, Will destroy everything I fought for.

The Storm
I am afraid of a thing. That thing I don’t even know what is. *Fire rises to **** stealing life and rain* It purges the land of everything ‘Till there’s nothing left to stand. I am afraid of something. Of something I cannot name. Storm and thunder are here A swirling mass of destructive winds Breaking people and mortal beings. What am I afraid of, I can’t say. What are you afraid of? I can’t answer. The grounds get up to meet the bees They get up to curse the sky Why do you even bother, if you’re just going to lie? I am afraid of a being I cannot name. I am scared of something, of something I can’t stand. The thunder and lightning crash Forceful enough to blow away most things We die protecting. I am afraid of a storm. The storm that, inside me, rages on. I fight to keep it in, keep it hidden. But I am losing, that I’m aware of. And one day, the storm, Will destroy everything I fought for.
