they say a major storm is headed our way

high winds and rain, flooding and fallen trees

but it doesn’t give me great distress

i do the necessary precautions and hope for the best

that kind of storm is out of my hands

it was the ones within, that i couldn’t stand

so it took a long time to wear me down

to the point where i had to do something or accept what i found

stopped doing things that dulled my senses and confused my mind

and looked myself straight in the eye and got honest about what i saw

nobody ever said change was fun but i couldn’t feel comfortable until i turned

my life and my will over to Him

i feel much better in my own skin, and i’m not afraid of the weather

the storms have ceased

within
