Like a Rose

Like A Rose
   

Like a rose growing in a pile of dirt,
Beauty can grow through a mound of hurt.
Outside soil can’t penetrate,
A filthy soul filled with hate.
Open up your petals wide,
Allow the sunshine to come inside.
Breathe in the cleansing air,
Drink the rain that forms a tear.
Proudly stand all alone.
Like the perfect rose that you’ve grown.
