Leaf in a Storm

twist and turn 

crash and burn

impale the reason 

let the guts churn

doubt and horror

fear and terror

grin and bear it

dead eyes stare

face to face

close enough to kiss

how could we ever

let it come down to this

is the world ending now

will we live through somehow

is the past a part of the present

are we living in the now?

shall we continue to struggle

or should we let it go

will the leaf rise in the storm

or just flow?

These are horrible times, but that's alright because we are horrible people.
