A Thorn


I promise myself

That I will be
A thorn in their side,
No,
A thorn in their
Palm,
So that
Every time
They pick up their pen
Or raise their hand,
They will be reminded
That someone
Said
No–
Don’t do that
Cruel thing,
Don’t make
That
Mistake
That will
Hurt
So many.

I was never
Much of a rose…
But I can be a thorn.


Thank you for reading this. I’m wishing you peace in your heart today.
