I once had a friend named Mitch,
His name rhymed with b with an itch.
One day a teacher said to us, "Mitch please."
He couldn't figure out why we had to cover our giggles with a sneeze.
And still to this day,
With much dismay,
He still can't figure out what was so funny about "Mitch please."
I'm sitting in the dark,
Watching the lights flash around me.
My mind is a muddled mess,
And there's little for my eyes to see.
The rain pounds on the window.
The thunder crashes in the sky.
And here I sit in the middle,
Hearing it go by.
It stops and it starts,
Covering anything,
Then nothing.
The wind whips the trees,
And the animals try to hide.
A dedicated mother,
Sits on her babies in her nest.
She keeps them warm and dry with her own body,
Never stopping to rest.
Lightning flashes and thunder roars,
As I sit inside the doors.
Sitting in the dark,
I can hear my heart.
Thundering in my ears.
The rain is my tears.
The lightning is my chance at hope,
And my deepest fears.
