the world molded me
into who i am today
because i was hit
with reality
at a young age.
i learned how to cope
how to feel
sympathize
empathize
how to keep everything bottled up
nearly overflowing
just to help someone who had a drop in their glass
when i was full with a raging ocean.
all i ask for now
is someone to do the same for me
without having to keep it all inside
without keeping up the floodgates
to keep the hurricane at bay.
i am a raging storm
with no end in sight.
