It started out as a single storm in the sky
moving in from the shore
feeding off of lives

The numbers kept heading up strong
A single storm
led to avalanches and earthquakes
Tsunamis all around

Shores washed out
Everest destroyed
Tropics or Poles
nothing escaped
nothing slid by

Today its the first of July
Its been almost a year now
The storm has never quieted down

Ive seen the moon
almost hit the earth
cause tides and fires
drift away homes


Ive lost loved ones
Seen places go up in smoke

The world has grown colder
throughout the year it snows
I stare at the moon each night
out my window

And even during the day
you can see it in the horizon
( just stuck there )


Ive seen bad turn worst
and worst grow old

Ive watched dark become empty
and empty
get cold.



But each of us every night
we turn off the lights
a little afraid and a little quiet

But at dawn
we are all ready to strive
to fight with our souls

to survive

About many things we've cried
We've given up enough in the fire

But of the past we've let go
And from the future we never hide.
This is for the 'Let It Go' contest.
Picked up the idea somewhere. I know it probably is pretty childish and bad. But I gave it a shot anyway.
