My Generation

Blossoming abundantly

though into a black rose

prospering in a baneful darkness

Salvation all around

yet it cannot be touched

Crying for deliverance

Bleeding from deep wounds

Tumbling

and

Spinning

Tangling as the pain grows

The further away it gets

from the source of its own,

New growth can be seen

Though the tears fade

Into shades of gray

One breaks free

from the atrocity

Cradled between life and death

with thorns ever near

It falls along the path

of my generation.
