Finally, the thunder thumped

The drops of rain heavier than ever

Lighting crackling in the dark sky

Finally, the storm had come

Pridefully she walked into the storm

She walked in ready to be greeted by the darkness

The storm so loud she could no longer hear

Overpowering the noise of her mother’s advice

She had waited for this storm since she first saw the gloom

Her first taste of gloom, rebellion and independence

Once an innocent child, clear skies and sunshine

Tired of the tranquility she sought out the doom

She could not wait for the storm of adulthood

And as the smokey grey clouds surrounded her

Flashes of lightning coming close to strike 

Thunder booming so loudly she could not hear her own thoughts

At last, she wanted nothing more than to escape the storm

To be a child once more
