Roses
they're beautiful
the layers
and layers
they keep going around
that's what
makes it pretty
the layers of petalsBut no one appreciates
what really keeps it standingSo they snap it off
from its roots
its stems
its thorns
because they're obsessed
only with what attracts their eyesAnd then they watch it
wither away
slowly dying
from the lack of loving
that it deserves[Your appearance doesn't define you]

Dedicated to AbysmalRose for changing my opinion about roses because personally, I didn't like roses, but she changed that. Thank you for being in my life Liv. I love you. Always. And forever. <3
