Thorns are as much a part of the rose as the petals.
Convince yourself
Convince other people of the rainbows and glitters that lines your path
With a hop on your every step
As your smile stretches from ear to ear
Convince yourself
Convince other people that your body is free from any scar
No mark of ugliness ruining your outer facade
The marks accumulated through the years
But the thorns are as much as a part of the rose as the petals
You are a rose
As pretty as the petals that everyone sees
As protected by the thorns around your body
With fragrance enough for enchantment
You are a rose
Surviving endless times
