In A Maze of Thorns
In a maze of thorns
Few will shine
Since many have horns
They cannot be mine
As I search day and night
I begin to grow lost
Desperate in flight
I leave many thorns tossed
The further I push the more I'm cut
Yet knowing I must advance
Must reach the door before its shut
So I may have a chance
There comes so often a prick
Leaving holes ever so small
At times being three inches thick
Still failing to make me fall
Standing here as my skin bleeds
I rely on healing showers
Having to trudge through all the weeds
In order to reach the flowers
Few will shine
Since many have horns
They cannot be mine
As I search day and night
I begin to grow lost
Desperate in flight
I leave many thorns tossed
The further I push the more I'm cut
Yet knowing I must advance
Must reach the door before its shut
So I may have a chance
There comes so often a prick
Leaving holes ever so small
At times being three inches thick
Still failing to make me fall
Standing here as my skin bleeds
I rely on healing showers
Having to trudge through all the weeds
In order to reach the flowers
