You don't scare me anymore

You don't scare me anymore.
I am choosing to sit in the dark, alone, and listen to the thunder crash.
The rain pounds down and the trees whip and howl with the wind,
But I sit.
Quietly listening to the storm raging outside,
And then I yell louder.
I yell fiercely because I am.
I am not weak, I am not quiet, I am strong.
I refuse to any longer cower and wish for someone to save me.
Someone to come along with the magic to fix it all.
I can be, I choose to be whole.
I will fight, I will create, and I will yell back louder and stronger than anything that comes along.
You don't scare me anymore.
Not because the thunder is different,
but because I am.
