Rose

Thanks to you

My mind says I’m home,
My heart bids me run.
But where can you hide,
When your life comes undone?

Everything is falling,
My life is crashing down.
People 'round me squabble,
My stomach turns round and round.

I run ramped,
Though I journey nowhere.
I fall to my knee,
God I’ve had my fair share.

A dark cape of expectations,
Falls upon my shoulder.
I was battered, beaten down.
I thought my life was over.

I did the one thing left to do,
I opened up my heart.
I screamed up to the heavens,
“Please, don’t let me fall apart!”

My soul was lifted,
My life embraced.
Id finally let it happen.
And I am cleansed now by your grace.

Now my heart says I’m home,
My mind bids me stay.
Thanks be to you,
My demons hav...

My life is a rose,
Just a beautiful pose,
As everyday Im expected,
To never let sadness or hurt be reflected.
To stand here and smile a-new
Just be happy a while, says you.
And so, ill grab my mask
Surrender myself to this task.
I’ll sit here and appear,
As a rose.

My soul is a rose,
It always will be I suppose,
Because you never seem to see,
What is truly inside of me.
Life is not just happiness; there must be time to mourn,
And so you see, my rose does truly have its thorns.
People hurt and people cry.
People bleed and some do die.
There is glad, but also sad.
The world is beauty, the world is bad.
And so I do,
Bequeath to you,
From my thorns to my beauty,
That I am surly,
Just a rose.
