Congratulations to Shelby Pryor for winning this week’s contest
Something New
Rain rushes from the skies
Mixing with a single tear
The wind cuts through
Like every doubt, every fear
Lightning shatters my peace
Like the pieces of my mind
A distant thunderclap mocks
Of the girl I was and left behind
A tornado rages in my head
Demolishing my peace and joy
I plaster on a smile for you,
But it's just a tactic I employ
The fear paralyzes my heart
Yet I'm so tired of being afraid
It is time to get up and fight
Before my resolve starts to fade
My fingers curl around my sword
I lift it high, I've got my armor on
I bring it down with all my strength
Until the shattered pieces are gone
There is no fixing the girl I was
No use in buying time with glue
The only solution is to shatter her
And forge with fire Something New
