Beneath the calm, collected surface rages a storm hidden from the unsuspecting eye.
Struggling to break through, yet kept hidden from view.
The relentless and rapid rain comes down in sheets, drowning out all happiness and joy.
The ear-spliting noise of the thunder deafening out all voices of reason.
The howling winds create a hurricane of emotions whirling through every part of my mind.
Each emotion begging to take control.
Anger, sadness, fear, pain.
It’s uncontrollable, yet unstoppable.
The waves are crashing against the shore, each time bringing new memories of suffering and agony.
The strength of the storm is opening new wounds while tearing open old scars that never quite healed.
There is no sign of the storm slowing down.
There is no escape.
It is only the acceptance that calms the storm.
Acceptance of the future that pacifies the howling winds.
Acceptance of what could have been that placates that torrential rain pouring down around me.
Acceptance of what should have been that quiets the never-ending thunder.
Acceptance of what can not be changed that calms the persistent, angry waves.
It is only acceptance that stops the unstoppable and controls the uncontrollable.
Then there is no more.
Until tomorrow.
