Rose
I'm just a shadow of a Rose
A place where hopelessness grows
Where thorns are welcome
And pain is all but seldom
No one can see me bloom
They have given up on this gloom
Can't fight what I am
A woman or a man
Admire me for who I am
Hate me for having no glam
Love me now my friends and foes
As I was once a beautiful rose
As I wither in the cold and rain
No one comes to ease my pain
I promise again that I'll change
But my words are worthless and enrage
Those that loved me
Have said "you can't see"
The beautY and purity as you were born
Now the painful beauty of a thorn.
