Thorny Rose

That’s what life is a “thorny rose”
It shines, it shimmers, it glows
If you reach out to touch it
You may feel as if you were bit

I am just discovering this
And frankly I’m really pissed
The thorns are there all right
They are what put up the fight

Is it really worth it? I sometimes ask
When I’m given what seems too hard a task
What I really want is the blossom
But I’m learning it’s going to cost some

I feel like I’m being chased by time
That is after a heavy fine
In the shadows I will lurk
Until I find out how this works!
