Soft But Thorned

I am the rose the night can’t drown,? 
A bloom that leans when skies turn down.? 
A myriad stars above me glow,? 
While serpentine winds around me blow.
The lunar hush, it knows my name,? 
A girl of light, a heart of flame.? 
Soft, but built of root and thorn,? 
A thousand times, I’ve been reborn.
One day, they’ll see what hides in me,? 
A queen, unclaimed, yet meant to be.
