Thorns

I'm a weed in some thorns. 

Unwanted and forlorn, 

Trying to survive,

 A bleeding sacrifice. 


The world weighs me down, 

Scratches me and pokes,

 I'm away from the beauty, 

No that's far above. 


Up through the shadows,

 I see a glint of hope. 

But it falls, falls down, 

Until it hits the ground. 

To wither up and die. 

A shrinking sacrifice. 


Withering away, 

My cage only grows from day to day, 


Oh the weeds are growing, 

A rose is scarce these days, 

But I'm still hoping anyway.
