Bramble

Brambles tear at my soft skin,

Malicious claws sink in,

Blood wells but I stand valiant,

An unmoving statue of stone,

I duck and wait for the inevitable scrape,

Instead the tangled depths part,

And I'm bathed in warm sunlight,

Sweet sunlight.


A/N -

With this one you've got to read in between the lines a little. It's supposed to be about finding genuine friendship after being in a toxic one and putting up with it for so long, but then in hindsight could be about anything. Interpret it how you like, i guess.

p.s - I hope you find your sunlight :)
