To Be a Rose

To be a woman is to be a rose
Beauty that can by all be admired
Thorns around to prevent being plucked
By those in this world who show desire

Forever like a rose, I shall be
To prevent being picked as I once was
By someone who did not come close to deserving
Of my midnight beauty to be beloved
