Single Red Rose

by Void   Dec 11, 2005


Among a garden of beautiful blue,
Secretly hides a red rose's bloom.
Its petals lay folded from outside to in,
Making, invisible, the tears of its skin.
Too scared to bloom, too frightened to shine,
Didn't feel strong enough to stand like a shrine.
Light green leaves reach from a dark neck
Different from the others, ashamed of what it lacks.
Unknowing of its beauty, Undefined is its worth,
The flower slowly opens as nature stars its birth.
Revealing colour and the glow of morning's dew
Shone a beautiful red rose among a garden of blue.

-I'm not sure in which category to put this in, mostly because it is about a flower, so it's nature, but I wrote it for metaphorically speaking about the nature of a humans thoughts, and insecurity. Alot of people feel unpretty or something because they're not the same, but they don't realize that beauty comes from uniqueness too. (I hope that's a word lol) Anywho, Hope everyone understands :)
