I Am The Storm

by Lyn Lomasi; Owner of Intent-sive Nature & the Brand Shamans network

They told me I couldn't survive
Said I wouldn't have the strength to thrive

The waves came crashing down
Water was thrashing all around

The wind showed no mercy to the sea
Lightning and its thundering boom surrounded me

I pressed on awaiting my rainbow
For little did they know

While they tried to make me conform
I've always forever been the storm.

That peace they thought I should get
Can only come after getting wet

Being drenched in the storms of life
And experiencing the lessons and strife

Is the only way to get to that rainbow end
I am the storm and I have no desire to mend

Poetry written by me July 10, 2020,  inspired by Storm or Ororo Munroe character from Marvel Comics, whom I have identified with since I was a kid. This poem is meant to inspire others to embrace the storms of life because that is where the lessons and rainbows come from.
