Roses and Thorns

Pretty things and Ugly things
                                                  Blooming flowers and
                                                    decaying leaves
                                                  Stunning sunsets and
                                                     terrifying darkness
                                          
                                              Pretty things and Ugly things
                                                  Sweet protection and
                                                     constant smothering
                                                  Thrilling happiness and
                                                      crushing sadness
                              Surrounded by darkness, yet still stumbling to the light
