I’m still growing
Flowers wilt
Slowly but surely
Thorns thicken
Flowers wilt
There is a reason
Thorns thicken
To prick the finger of man
There is a reason
Advise the blossoms
To prick the finger of man
Leave me be, rooted here
Advise the blossoms
Am I still growing?
Leave me be, rooted here
Slowly but surely
