‘Tis’nt strange

How one thing seems like the complete opposite as how it acts?

A pale canvas of a heart, divine in name

Yet, she is stained by a past that is not hers

Tainted in character on accident

A mistake

A whole, complete, entire, never-supposed-to-exist mistake

Held in sinful hands that care so dearly, her thorns slice away at those that draw too near

Do not look, do not taunt, do not provoke this Pearl!

Beauty in those gushing petals of hers

This rose, pardon me, this pearl

Knows

She knows more than she should

And her thorns will prink and poke and stab their way through for truth

For the fact that daddy was closer than she thought

That his fading heart was further than her determined fingers could grasp

For her mother that lost her world to gain one soul

This soul

This being of unknown origin

This flower of precious stone seeds, of rock hard emotion and fragile figure

This white rose bush that Hatred and Disgust tried to paint red

[i actually made this for english . but i really liked this, so here xD also this is based on the little girl Pearl from the Scarlett Letter ~]
