Happy Pain

The flowers are choking me

Which is strange

'Cause flowers are supposed to make you feel full inside

The beauty and joy they bring upon remains

I'm overflowing though

With loads of happy pain

The flowers make me feel beautiful and worthy

But they're growing at a pace I can't catch up with

Vines and roots wrapping around my sensitive flesh

Red-rimmed rings appear around the very part that makes my self connect

Slowly easing my worries

But ruining the glory

How do I rip apart something so pretty?

With my love and endurance

I sprint towards the gate

Through the harsh winds

Yet, I still can't escape

I'm choking

I'm bleeding from the thorns poking

Leave me

Leave me be

So I can go in a happy pain
