Crowns of Laurel

003-Thorns and Roses

Surges of emotion and sudden jolts of pain,
came running through my vein.
Starting to think that I would meet my bane,
'cuz of the monster inside that's going insane.

I was thrown into total isolation.
I thought I had people to rely on in this nation,
but I guess I had an incorrect notion,
for I was left in damnation.

I wanted to blame society,
but I knew the problem was me.
They are roses blooming ever so free,
while I was the thorn attached to their glee.

They seem unbothered by my absence,
or they couldn't care less about my presence,
because to them, I was only a nuisance.
A big blob of weird nonsense.

I have contributed to countless mistakes,
but I try to fix it in every decision that I make,
because my care for them wasn't fake,
and I'd protect them no matter what it takes.

Now, ambiguity has damaged my pursuit,
of having friendships with strong roots.
I lost the energy to refute,
for I know it will only end in dispute.
