Thorns

--BlossomMonyei-- A path of thorns Thorns of many kind. Thorns that'll ruin a life Thorns that hypnotize to pierce your leg. I've been taught Avoid thorns The pleasure I barely resist All it takes is a foot I fought not to But pleasure grew Desire became hungry. I enjoyed as it entered my foot Forgot the consequences Pleasure left, Desire satisfied A great penalty, I was shocked I knew I couldn't continue the journey I'll struggle to walk. I gather herbs for it to heal. But it won't. The real deal hasn't resulted I pray to a God I've never known I won't do it again I've sworn "You are my lifeline" With struggle I'll walk Even if it'll turn worse Though peace, in my heart it's absent Lord with you, peace lies. #blossommonyei #liberiapoetry #WeeklyContest
