A Rose in the dirt
February 12, 2015
Weaken and worn by age and the cruelty of others
Torn open and cut but no blood remains
Filled with so much life drained by the form of security
But unable to save ourselves
We are thought of as empty and cold but our hearts are pure
Delicate like a rose but harsh like its thorns
Death is no solution and like a rose you fight on
