A Thorn Left Inside

I can’t explain these feelings inside

They come from deep inside

They seemed to have been hidden with time

I search intensely to find the reason they’re inside

Something must have provoked them this time

For I don’t feel them all the time

Search I will, to bring them out from inside

A story unfolds from a memory in mind

Vividly I play the memory through my eyes

I feel a thorn being pulled from my side

I kneel to release the pain I’ve held inside

Reborn I feel from these feelings I left inside
