A storm is raging
Just beyond the inner lining
Outward there is calm
With an illusion of peace

Escape to a safe haven
Tis the only hope
Before the winds come
To carry you away

Hands that are shakened
Are kept hidden beneath cloth
Eyes of the soul
Only takes a moments glance

Confusion of the mind
Feeling unsure, unsafe
Not able to decide
On what step to take

Wanting to give in
Let the storm take its place
Just letting it carry you
Rage with it face to face

But sanity conquers
The outward look
As insanity battles victoriously
It wins what you hide

It smothers your soul
And takes over your mind
