Thorns

These thorns at my sides

are the markings that show

all the burdens I bear

none you will ever know.



That the pain that's been caused

that did leave these deep scars

make me desperately wonder

how I made it thus far.



Of the chances I had

and those same ones I lost

of my lines that were boundaries

the same ones that I crossed.



Of the people lain broken

side-effects of this hole

of the feelings erupted

I failed to control.

These thorns are reminders

of a meaningless life

that I so yearn to end

with the tip of a knife.

i love this part

"Of the chances I had
and those same ones I lost
of my lines that were boundaries
the same ones that I crossed."
