A Rose With Thorns
I'm afraid of these apparitions,
Getting in the way of my aspirations.
I know I need them here,
But staying here talking is my biggest fear.
What if I go nowhere?
Like a flower that never blooms,
Hiding and talking to the moon..
What if I never come out,
Of this hole I dug for myself?
But I just can't enough..
You know that I love,
To hear your voice.
It's almost like a drug.
I sit and wait,
For a day that never comes.
When will I get up,
From this place I sit in daily,
I just thought that maybe..
I would be somewhere by now.
I know you tell me to find my cloud,
That one day my day will come.
I don't mean to have doubts,
I just feel so alone, I feel so lost.
I feel so sprung up on what I've done,
And the things that I haven't.
My life has been tragic.
Recovery is a rose with thorns,
It hurts to grab it, my skin has been torn.
But now that I have it I can't let go,
No matter how hard it is to hold.
