Pushing Past the Storm


I’m listening to the rain fall Like the beating of a shallow heart As it hits my window I stop And try to pretend that it’s my rhythm. But I know that I can’t find my song. I can feel that it’s waiting for me, My yet to be spoken destiny. And I wonder where it’s hiding. All these years I have held onto The memories of the past And I will run in circles Unless I push myself past The future holds so many open doors And I don’t know which one to take But if I wait for another second I’ll get lost in the storm

This is such a cool poem- I loved how you wrote about rain falling and the imagery makes it seem more like a small downpour, but by the last line of the poem it is a full storm! Using this imagery helped relate the changing rain to the uncertainty we all have in the journey of life.

This is for the Poetry Slam Scholarship, and it's about how I feel about my future and how I'm going to get there.
