Million thorns I've bore
Stuck beneath my skin
Freezing my heart and soul
Forcing me to blink

A tsunami of helplessness
Swallows me whole
While I fight the demons within
Trying to take over my core

Snatching with the sharpened claws
They dig deeper into my mind
Threatening to rip apart
The hope that is hidden inside.

Permeating through my body
It breathes faith into me
Standing with all I own
It leads me to what I can be.
