Sister Storm

Uh-oh, you're getting dark again, I feel it coming on.
I wonder what will happen, what we'll see come once the dawn.
Oh last time, my heart was thrashed, I scrambled for the pieces.
This time, there's nothing left to lose, and my crying ceases.
The day is lost when the sun would shine, and again we might be warm.
For you, my sister, you are nothing but a wreckless storm!
You scream and thunder 'bout all you gave, your rain upon the Earth.
You demand with lightning, tearing winds, that we bow down to your worth.
You tear down the family with your demands, rip us apart and still,
You want us to worship you and bow to your cruel unyielding will?
Controlling nature, yes, I know, you were raised by our mother.
Perhaps you could try to get along by NOT controlling others?
Oh but that's too much for you, dear storm with might and rage,
For how could others know your pain if the hurts you didn't stage?
You might find freedom in feeding the earth, instead of tearing apart,
For you would not only heal the earth, you'd heal your broken heart.

ROLLER-COASTER

this is my life.

Up and down, all around, I'm dizzy and I'm sick.
I got on the ride, I buckled up, and I paid for this.
The man at the controls laughs as he sends me 'round again,
Begging him to stop the ride as all the backgrounds blend.
But it doesn't stop, I'm stuck in this seat and by the bars I'm bound.
I don't remember what it's like to be still on the ground.
No one told me I was signing up for such a dirty trick.
My life is up and down, round and round so dizzy and so sick.
