this storm

I have a storm
it's in my mind
there is no warning
there is no sign
this storm can happen
anytime
to anyone
today it's mine

this storm is fierce
imagine that
it's damn near raining
dogs and cats
my mind is flooding
with intrusive thoughts
with all those details
that I forgot

          save me 
          from this brain of mine
          maybe
          help will come in time

the storm is moving
closer in
it's not improving
I cannot swim
in waves of worry
that start within
God save me from
this mess I'm in

I have a storm
it's in my mind
there is no warning
there is no sign
this storm can happen
anytime
to anyone
today it's mine
