Extraordinary

Many have told me I hold a great mystery, That if they look into my eyes they see an unknown history, Little do they know, there is nothing I need to hide, I am an extraordinary rose with a few thorns on my side, For the world that I live in has let me down many times before, But I always arise, after I hit the floor, And yes I am a princess despite What others have tried to say, For every woman is, in her own unique way, My kingdom awaits me after my flesh becomes dust, I don’t need to be enticed by superficial lust, Many have questioned how I have survived, I tell them it’s because I am just like the tide, I ascend than descend because of forces that affect, However, I am not concerned with what this world calls perfect, This life is uncertain; our time here is fleeting, The mystery to me is what keeps my heart- beating.
