The Truth of Her Mind

Thorns

She was a rose mistaken for a thorn.
She had only ever been cast aside,
Never truly treated right.

She hid in the shadows,
Away from the harshness of her fate.
Nobody wanted to be the thorn among the daisies.

One day she was given the love and nurturing that she needed.
She was brought into the sun,
Her journey had just begun.

Adoring words made her come to life. The warmth from the kindness allowed her to grow.
Alas, it was time for the thorns to go.
