Dec 2018
I just woke up from a long dream
One  which I hardly know how to classify
It felt like a nightmare, yet it was appeasing
And I longed for it…

All the same, I just woke up!...

To find myself caught in a thorn bush
Thorns piercing into my skin,
Choking me to become one with them
Red thick blood gashing out
Everyone staring at me, shouting
Their eyes fiiled with sorrow and sadness
The voices in my head screaming
Asking me how we got here

I’m gasping for air
Can feel my heart beat so fast it’s about to burst
Veins in my body telling me to leave now
Every fibre of my body yelling out in anguish

I m scared to leave
I don’t know if I can leave
I dont know if I want to leave

These thorns embrace me so much the pain feels fulfilling
I crave for their touch
They are a part of me; I am a part of them
Together we are a sweet, bitter thorn bush.

If I leave I will be left with scars to haunt me  
If I stay I will die and be one with the thorns
And pierce those who will stand by my grave to weep

Help me... save me
Somebody, anybody
But this I know ....
I am my own saviour
No one can pull me out

I am tangled by death
Yet it’s the best feeling I have ever had
