Standing in the middle

Of the immense confusion,

I cover my ears to shut out

The howling winds and thrashing waves.

-

Everyone around me is disappearing,

Snatched up by the violent Jenny,

Swept away by the stormy seas.

Absolutely everyone but me.

-

I stand-alone and I stand strong.

Firmly rooted to the ground.

Nothing can ever move me now,

Not the bellowing winds, not the stormy seas.

-

I drop to my knees, unable to resist.

Even the resilient can sometimes fall.

"Take me! Take me too!" I cry,

As the winds and rains subside.
