The Storm Racing Within

Anger rising
from within

The storm
racing inside

No longer
hiding
No longer
disguised

Confusion scattered
around
Nothing to do but
rebound

Hearing two
stories
Hearing two
"truths"

What to do?
sit and listen
rise and shout
leaving nothing but doubt

Doubting honesty
Doubting truth

I dont hear
either
I dont hear
any

Hearing from
both sides
wanting to
believe

Cant find
the strength
Cant find
the heart

Been hurt
so long
this adds to
the pain

So sick and
tired
truth is only
desired

Its not given
Its not offered
knowing this Leaves
me bothered

I cant
choose sides
I cant
testify

I refuse to
decide
would rather go to jail
or die
family drama
is it really worth it?

Some say it is
Some say it isnt

Heartbreak
by family
tears the soul
infinitely

I am tired of
fighting
tired of trying

tried finding
truth
tried making it
work

Nothings helps
Nothing works

Tattered and torn
my heart bears
no more

People see my
smile
Something hiding
all the while

Acting like Im
fine
Like Im
invincible

Emotions race
and scream
living out this
horrible dream

Wont cry, it
is weak
so hard, not
to break

Breaking down
to the ground

what can get it
to go away
what can make
it sway

Distancing myself
from the drama
Breaking apart
from the hurt

It all comes
down to
caring too much
about you

Caring about
those around me
hurts but I
cant let it be

Filled with
regret
someday I will
forget

One day
it will go away.
