Fear

There you are.. a photo of you smiling 

but now, here's a mirror of you sad. 

I can tell something stole your joy

and you want to go back to that photo smiling, instead looking in the mirror sad.

You just want to be normal again.

I sense that you are afraid.

Be busy putting your trust in fear or your fear in trust. 

The fear of the unknown that is known is still fear. One only hopes when it's near, they courage it up to get a backbone, so they won't be consumed in their nightmare. 

There's a war going on. 

Outside there's peace and protection.

Inside, 

You are a living breathing storm with radar palms. Pulse like earthquake. Nerve shaking anxiety - no peace in between touchdowns. 

I seen you spot a tornado before the funnel formed with those hurricane eyes. Hail size tears. 

Your destructive behavior is bringing your strength down.

   Self-control It or It will control you. 

You just want to go back to that photo smile instead a mirror sad.

I'll be glad to have you back, That, every in a half moon, full moon, new moon laugh, That, calm before and after the storm. Your, cloudy sun rays that shine on my rainy days. That makes me thankful to be alive. I too, 

want you to be normal again.

But it's your civil war you must end.

It have to be in your heart to no-fly-zone your climate change.

Ceasefire your mouth from shooting down your ability to overcome.

The storms will only grow violently worse as time goes on.

"He who is always watching the wind does not sow; he who always keeps his eyes on the clouds will not reap."

Hold fast my love

You can do it

Peace..
