Stormy night!!

When things aren’t going my way,

when the wind is blowing against me,

when I need a solution, I encounter more problems,

when the pressure keeps on building,

when I feel suffocated, nauseated, locked inside a cage,

when my shouts & yells aren’t heard by any,

when I pinch myself, hoping that it’s a nightmare,

when I have to go through the stormy night,

when I can’t take anybody’s help,

because the people who used to help me,

are themselves the creators of this stormy night.

I can’t sleep, even if I want to,

time is getting stretched with my thoughts,

sweat is on my brow, just a hint of it,

my brain is working at a crawling speed, if not standstill,

I have to find a solution soon,

and bring an end to this stormy night.

Outside, it’s all cool breeze,

crickets chirping, dead silence of a calm night,

Inside, it is a battle, storm, chaos, helter skelter,

and I don’t know how to tame this storm,

I just want this night to end,

end it soon enough without any more problems,

and, come tomorrow morning I will be a hero,

an amateur, who stood his ground, to prove his worth,

a sailor, who had a troubling yet successful voyage,

a fighter, who despite the odds, won.
