Whirlwind

Talking to you
is like whispering 
with a whirlwind

Can’t get a word in
against what’s pouring
out of you

I don’t blame you
for your hurricane life
You are what you are
for reasons beyond you

I’d go fight your parents
if I wanted to make it right
but
I’m not
putting up with it
either

so
blow away
blow away
try to stay alive
until you can
come again another day

when you
can be still
