A Long Time

For a long time I've known

the agonizing prick of the thorn,

but all I could do is to endure, and

fight the urge to believe it's the end.

It's been a long time since I saw

the beauty of dawn, and draw

the sun breaking the night,

warming my bones is the sunlight.

This time, I hope for a long time,

I could climb to my prime

I could withstand every steep

slope, and close the wound so deep.

"...and draw the sun breaking the night" > Gorgeous line. You've got a really nice voice in your poems and it's absolutely addictive.

There's a lot of strength in this one. From the agonizing prick, to the courage and strength to rise above.
I really like that.
