Prison Of Thorns

I’m trapped in a prison of thorns.
The more I try to free myself the deeper they sink into my heart,
Cutting their way straight into my soul.
So I surrender to stillness,
Thinking it will stop the pain.
But the sun, struggling to shine through the entangled branches,
Finally reaches my face with just enough strength
To remind me that there’s more beyond this jail…
Then, with the last drop of hope,
I take this pain killer and plan another escape for the very next day.
