Adapting Thorns



What madness is this, that airports

and sea shores hold more love

and sincerity than wedding halls

and hospital walls have heard

more prayers than God himself!


In an age where young girls

follow the footsteps of roses

adapting thorns - while boys

learn it's okay to stomp on flowers

because beauty can't be

brilliant too, what are we becoming?


And don't get me started

on darkness creating longing

which leads to countless nights

of useless romance - hearts

asking to be broken and souls

throwing themselves from

thirteenth story windows

knowing they can't fly.


What kind of madness is this

that we've named Reality

because all our dreams were

buried alive on our tenth birthday.


Is there any point in

struggling to survive?
