Cactus Life

Where were you?!
When I need you the most
I drown little by little
Into the eternal madness

I tried to breathe easy
But the sadness blocks my chest
It felt so heavy
And now I can barely breathe

I am now like a cactus on the desert
Wanting, needing something to hydrate
That will keep me alive
In the world of dry hearts

I learn to live and exist
Under the direct heat
It made me stronger
Now I have my way on how to ease

The spines on my surface
Are developed through time
Developed by each hard time
That enter, stay, and left my life line

This is my way of adapting to the environment
Full of difficult people
Intelligent yet narrow-minded
Truthful but actually pretentious

I've seen all these sorts
I know the world better
I see it better
Because I've been there!
