Hidden in the shadows
Lies a rose without its thorns
It searches in the hallows
But it's stuck and its torn
It cannot move because it's injured
Because its labeled a 'plant'
But it has a goal so pressured
With a destiny at a slant
Light is so far away now
And its roots are buried deep
It tries so hard to escape but
Faces pain of defeat
It's just a simple rose
With only light two feet away
But its petals wilt and close
Because it never can escape.
