Natural Disaster


What a mess life is

Causing chaos in this abyss

Thrashing sounds I can feel in my skin

A disastrous earthquake from within

Tornadoes taking what was left

This war breaking out like a volcano and burning the rest

Dragged and drowning in a tsunami

And I can't see what's in front of me.

 

In all this I am in the middle

But I get stronger little by little

I know I will be stronger than this

I use my wits and clench my fists

I stand my ground and I resist

So close to the disaster barely any distance

I learned it's better to face it

Than to surrender to it and quit.
