thorn

i work so hard every day 

to beat the old patterns 

of bygone days 


each time i open my eyes 

it’s to a battle of wills 

and desperate sighs 


it’s that thorn that feels like it’s stuck

it’s the fight i’m trying 

not to give up 


not let my happy forget it’s home 

and not let the sadness 

swallow me whole
