Concrete Rose

No matter how far I go

I look around and realize I didn’t move an inch

Not one step

I’m just standing in the same spot waiting to bloom

Waiting to feel the sunlight on my face

How can I get away from these hugs of unhappiness, and lock lips with the kiss of life

I need to feel whole again

I need room to breathe again

I lost my thorns, letting my weaknesses hit me all at once with no defense

Crying tears of sorrow, wiping them with sleeves of hope

Will I ever make the move to break through?
