Force of nature

Every breath I breathe is an earthquake

Resonating aftershocks shaking from my chest to my legs

Every inhale is a hurricane

Spinning through my head

Thunder clouds block out my eyes

Refuse to let loose a torrential down pour

My legs are twigs

Easily broken, weak, snap

When the weight of the world becomes too much

They collapse beneath me

My hands are oceans

Each curl of my fingers is a tsunami wave

Trying to hold on to the shore, solid ground

Reaching farther for stability, a sense of safety

To often to my hands mistakenly destroy what they once created

I can not say I am sorry without breathing

With out the resonating after shock of an earthquake

Or my eyes to let loose the hurricane

I am left on my knees

Grasping at twigs

Trying to find ground again

When you finally leave

I am sorry

I can not undo what I am, what I've done

I am force of nature

You didn't ask be caught in the aftermath
