Asphalt

You’re like asphalt
Hard and cold
And I
I am just like
A dandelion

Trying to pull myself
Through
Trying to force myself
Out of you

And you push me back
Trying to break my back

It burns and it aches
As your hard surface cuts me

It soars and it bleeds
As your hard edge cuts me

As I am fighting to see the sun
As I am fighting to reach the sun

Trying to pull myself through
Trying to free myself out of you
