Self-Protecting

You are a nuclear bomb
You are the end of the world
The latest haunting news
The national crime report
Teller of the greatest horrors
Always ailing and nearing death
Darkness in the pitch black
Crude oil in my water mind
A tornado
A monsoon
And a jagged thunderstorm
When I’m looking for the sun
Even just a glimmer of light
Hope that you eclipse
You are a petulant misery
When I try to protect myself
Keep my energy from your space
