The Night Of The Storm

The night of the storm

The window rattled

The wind blew

And rain fell

I ran to the basement with my TV and water

I clicked the set on

And flipped to the news

The thunder clapped

And lightning struck

As I shook

I was scared

I didn’t know what to do

If it wanted to get me

There’s nothing I could do to hide from it

I couldn’t stop it

I fell to my knees and began to pray

I prayed for the life

I had tried to end many times before

I prayed to stay living

And I asked for forgiveness

That I may never receive
