there I was,
alone.
as the thunderstorm raged on around me.
every rumble from the sky was like a whip,
cracking down
upon the ground
with a bone-shattering snap.
each jolt of lightning lit up the sky
like a flash grenade
dawning the question-
Is this what it will feel like?
to see the light before you you go?
I was uncertain,
but I knew the feeling of worth
was something in that very moment
I lacked-
a painful yet very true fact.
