The Storm Inside


                        There is a storm raging inside of her, 
                                     twisting her. 
                       The bad girl trying to 
                        contain the good 
                            girl she knows she needs to be. 
                                   The storm inside of her
                      causing her pain, 
             twisting her emotions. 
                            Feelings of anger, 
bitterness, 
betrayal, 
fighting to break free. 
Her innocence an act, 
her trusting nature breaking. 
She's breaking. 
Love, a distant memory of 
heartache and pain. 
She longs to be the girl she used 
to be. 
The girl who trusted, 
who believed, 
hoped 
and saw the best in those around her. 
The storm grows, 
wanting to contain her, 
to control her 
and to break free. 
Twisted emotions spin
like that of a vicious tornado 
destructive and 
damaging. 
The storm rages inside her 
and its all she can do
to keep it inside.

  2. Nice description of the duality that resides in all of us. Instead of giving control to one or the other, why not embrace both and let each drive as the situation dictates. More of a cooperative approach. Good is good and sometimes bad can be good.
