The Rose

The Rose
by Manda

Growing with time
Blooming brightly
Long, delicate neck, leading to the rose
Beauty from nature
Graceful perfection

Wait

Imperfection stings
Thrust out from beauty
Unworthy of the beautiful flower
True, a glaring fault
Incredible shame

Tragic

Beauty deserving
Perfection unmarred
Tamed and tainted unjustly, made impure
Pricked, torn, ruined
Broke by a thorn

I'm sorry
