Cyclone is a poem written by Reiu Somao-I and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Oh Snap! for the month of August
Cyclone
Bended trees
Shattered glasses
Broken roads
Collapsing dreams
Where do I start when even the finish line is gone?
I looked back and think of what I have done
Did I mess up in my past life for me to sink low?
I need to regain my strength and wait again for it to grow
Black clouds
Gray doubts
Crimson dew
Feeling blue
Uncertainty filled my tired body and numb heart
Holding to that thin line of hope that seems to fall apart
My desperate prayers are the only thing I could chant
My eyes linger to the unknown light in my front
Cold nights
Flickering lights
Stomach grumbling
Bodies trembling
I picked up all the pieces that were left behind
This is definitely not the life that I signed
But I would never like to stay in this state
Creeping hopelessness, I’ll find a way to escape
Building myself up
Climbing again at the top
Nothing could make me stop
This is not enough to make me drop
Life goes on
Let bygones be bygone
This is a cycle
I refuse to be on idle
Life is like a wheel
Never stops spinning
Sometimes we need to go with the flow
Even though it is against our will
If I couldn’t avoid such loss
I decided to change its course
To diminish its destruction
I’m giving all of my attention
To push for another victory
This life of mine won’t be filled with misery
To be stronger than I’ve ever been
I’ll be the best that you’ve never seen
Regret no longer occupy any space
Guilty would never be the reason to reminisce
If I ever get hit again by this cyclone
I know better now, I’m not alone
