In this storm, I stand alone:

Image
  In the haze of a stormy sky,   I feel the world begin to break. A cage I built in days gone by,   Now holds me, though my heart aches. Hidden truths I dared not see,   Lie buried deep beneath the night. I'm afraid of what they’ll be to me. If I dare to seek their light. The dark night whispers broken dreams. Of love once dear but lost to time. The storm outside softly screams. While shadows steal what once was mine. In this storm, I stand alone. Afraid of all I’ll never know. A broken soul, far from home,   In the dark night’s endless flow. . . . https://www.behance.net/isbahimaginative
