What is the poem Juliette Lewis quotes?


I think it ends with "I weap." She says it to Woody.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not knowing much poetry myself, but believing Woody to be a great screenplay and dialogue writer, I would not be suprised if Woody just made it up:)

no, he didnt. Its by a famous poet, I looked it up once before, but Ive forgotten. I would go rent the movie, but I cant right now.

"I fall upon the thorns of life. I Bleed."
