The Eye of the Storm

The Eye of the Storm
Echoes in and out of my mind
Clouding my vision with an unrelenting force
Altering my life from its planned course

I am told
That my life will unfold
But will I ever break the mold
From the lies that I have told?

I live in lies that I have made
Which I am forced to hide among
Afraid to feel, afraid to show my true feelings
For I am scared of my fears

Why does my soul feel so barren
When I stand here with you
Distant skies will never bring me close
Close to what I need, to prevail in these times

The anchor holds me down so I can’t breathe
My soul grows dimmer till I can’t find
The light in front of my face
My soul turns dark and is in need of grace
