I allowed thorns to grow and replace my ribcage. And I wondered why my lungs suffocated and my heart scarred too much. Worries are thistles masked as daisies. I thought I grew a garden when I built a prison. It broke my collar bone and my body can't move, So I decided to escape. With spikes hugging my inner being, I ran to my lover and he set me free. Now flowers are growing inside me.

Where Flowers Should Grow
I allowed thorns to grow and replace my ribcage. And I wondered why my lungs suffocated and my heart scarred too much. Worries are thistles masked as daisies. I thought I grew a garden when I built a prison. It broke my collar bone and my body can't move, So I decided to escape. With spikes hugging my inner being, I ran to my lover and he set me free. Now flowers are growing inside me.
