A dark cloudy night has me stuck in this void.
A storm of sorrow
has begun to unleash, reluctantly, upon me.
I'm in search of higher ground
to feel free, to kneel, to beg, and to stare into the eye.
a flash of lightning strikes
burning the lies.

My body's as vibrant as a widow
searching for a reason to live.
My head tilted back awaiting
this storm to give in.
Please accept this sacrifice.
Clenching my teeth
I declare this to be my last vice.

A flood of incomprehensible joy
flatters me.
But nothing can change my mind,
nothing can disturb me this time.

Shackled to the storm
as a flash appears.
This mutation begins to take form,
like a diamond to coal.
I feel humbled,
and ready to fade like the dull
thud of thunder.

I proclaim this to be my last rite
as the electric runs through my solemnly soul.
And I feel the freedom of being whole.

Absolutely superb write. I would choose a piece of it, however that would not do the rest justice. I hope the ending was figurtive, please keep up the good work.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
