“Once, someone said I had a storm in my eyes. 

I did not answer. They could have killed me, I thought at that time – there was no one I could fully trust, not even the people I yet trusted. 

But then I looked in the mirror, looked at my eyes, and watched the storm unfurl quietly, along with the ghosts of the people who were now memories, along with the fastening death of my innocence, along with the disappearance of my emotions, along with the darkness in my head. 

At that time, I did not know it was darkness. I thought it was, simply, what was bound to happen after all this time spent being taught the worst of the world. We were all born to die, I had learnt. Some more quickly than others. Lives were nothing. Nothing mattered.

I had a storm in my eyes, all dark sky and black clouds and hammering rain, but it lacked the wind and the thunder.

That, I would get later. 

And when I would, I would also understand that this someone, who had told me I had a storm in my eyes, had seen too little.

At that time already, I had a storm in my heart.

It only had yet to rage.”
