I sit in my dress

Pretty as a porcelain doll

Smothered with smiles

And holding one single

Red rose

My smiles warm, but my eyes do not copy

The are filled with fear and pain

I hold the rose for everyone to see

I am not okay

The do not understand but complement me

And my wonderful

Red rose

I held it up once again

Trying to show what they cannot notice

It was a white rose

Before

He attacked me
