Language and Literature Expression and Figurative Language Metaphor
i fall upon the thorns of life i bleed
paraphrase
I think it means to go through a lot of obstacles but fail
Has the speaker failed yet? The obstacles/thorns you have right. That they bruise/make him or her bleed, yes. Life can be hard, but has the speaker failed? I don't know. Think about it.
