what’s it like when the storm sets in
and the darkness creeps into your veins
what’s it like when the storm crashes into your soul
and wraps you in a fiery hug

does it ache deep in your bones
does it crush your lungs in one inhale
does it leave you begging for life on the exhale

what’s it like when the storm arrives
and is unannounced
what’s it like when the storm of depression
and sadness weighs you down
