This Storm

2/9/2019
this storm
has lived overhead
for so long
i forgot how to shine
in the sun
my raincoat
and umbrella
have protected me
for so long
they are the only
defenses
i know
i'm afraid
to cast them aside
and embark
on a journey
i haven't made
in far too long
no compass
no map
just faith
that things will turn out
alright
