Like the Breathless Rose

I feel like a wilted, straight cut rose taken from my garden with a quick snip. Displayed in the aura and heat of a stage beauty and bouquet are a burden. Breathless, I long for normal, to be myself again.

Thank you, Paula. I have stage-fright b/c being on a stage is foreign to my liking.
