It Comes

Like a hurricane it comes

Slow but fast

Terrifying then peace

Like a hurricane it comes


Like a tsunami it comes

In waves it comes

It comes

There then gone


When you make it through

You throw a party

But yet it’s still there

Never leaving 

Never on vacation 


Like a tornado it comes

Rushing 

Destroying

Swirling 

Then gone


Like a thunderstorm it comes

You see it coming

You feel it coming 

Coming from all sides 


A mic drop victory 

But 

It haunts you

Never leaving


Why does it never leave?

Why? 

I ask myself so many times

Long ago I lost count


But yet I keep asking

Why?

Why? 

It comes


Why me? 

Why am I the one suffering?

Why am I the one limited? 

It comes


Like a drum solo it comes

Pounding

Loud 

Unforgettable 


Like a roaring fire it comes

Destroy

It roars 

It comes


Hard to describe 

I ignore it 

But 

It comes


I do my best to prevent it

But I have no power over it

That would be like me having the power over the weather

I don’t and neither do you


Causes so many problems 

It comes 

Complications it causes 

It comes


Messes me up 

In so many ways

Too many ways

But that’s another poem for another time


Like a bomb it comes

All the sudden

Out of nowhere

It comes


Like a spot light it comes 

Blinding 

But still 

There then gone


While common

In others 

I still feel alone

It comes


Leaving me with no energy 

No motivation 

Drains me

It comes


I do my best to act normal 

Normal I tell myself

But still 

It comes


For others

To whom it doesn’t come

They don’t understand 

And I pray they never do


For those that understand 

One day 

One day we will have relief

One day


One day it won’t come

It won’t come

No more 

No more 


It won’t come like a hurricane

Like a tsunami 

Like a tornado 

Like a thunderstorm 


It won’t come like a drum solo

Like a roaring fire

Like a bomb

Like a spotlight


One day it will never come again.
