Garden Mine

To smell the fresh bloomed flower 
within this tangled mess 
of what was once a garden lush 
thriving on happiness 

I'd have to chop through brambles deep 
that reach out to snarl and scratch 
Crawl over dry weeds and choking vines 
to reveal a life detached 

Is it worth the emotion and pain 
to witness the scent of beauty 
Should I not stay within my capsuled world 
where "artificial" rules absolutely
