HURRICANE
There are 365 days in a year
That means
There are more than 365 chances
For my life
To change
Each a little more
Every day
And every second
And everyday
Just a little
My world
Turns
Just a little bit differently
I could say
It started turning
In a completely
Different way
In the middle
Of a hurricane
It wasn’t until after
When the wind
Had stopped howling
And I went out to see
The damage
No power for six days
Only the light
Of a few candles
Sunsets suddenly seemed
A lot more
Menacing
Than beautiful
Something
Scared
And
Small
Inside
Changed
I decided
I didn’t particularly like
Feeling small
So i decided
I wouldn’t.
