The Rose

by Nelle Kirk   Mar 11, 2008


I feel everytime I pick up a rose
I get pricked by a thorn
I wonder, What are the odds of me picking up a rose and not getting pricked?
I should have learned my lesson
If I pick up a rose, use protection
Or just stare at the beauty it holds
But I want to know more about this rose.
Why is it that everytime a pedal falls a new one grows?
Does this rose purposely attract victims just to harm them?
Why does it look so beautiful, but yet seem so evil?
Is this rose meant to be kept and cared for?
I cant cut off the thorns, just so i wont get hurt
Because then this rose is no longer the same
On the outside, maybe, but inside no
Why can't i learn that I must not pick up a rose anymore
Because all it will do is hurt me
But i cant seem to keep my eyes away from this beauty
I feel I must learn more in order to pick it without getting hurt.
