Somewhere lost
Amongst the roses,
I found myself
Lying in the middle
Of a field,
Letting the thorns
Prick my skin,
Fresh blood
Emerges
While I lay still

Hoping if I stay
Long enough,
I'll become as
Beautiful as a rose.

Instead,
The roses taught me
how to endure pain.
The trick to beauty
Is knowing I can endure the pain around me
And yet
I'll still be as radiant as before.
