Part 23: Roses have thorns too

Written By: Anonymous

You all seem so sweet and i stand here watching.

It seems you don't actually care

A friend you call yourself and i smile

I just want the world to be happy

I try to laugh and you do not realize.

Inside i cry...Inside i know you do not understand.

To me you are a beautiful Rose.

For a while i only saw petals

I thought all of you or at least one

Would see through my happy disguise.

Sometimes i truly am happy.

But as i got to know you...I learned you had thorns.

You never think before you speak.

All i want is for the world to be good...To be happy.

But i am still learning...Roses have thorns.

I stood alone..Never understood.

But now i have met a beautiful Phantom.

We talk and i know the phantom would understand

But i hate for the Phantom to be upset.

So I still try to make the world smile.

Even though i know it is impossible.

You as a Rose ask why do i trust so easily?

Because without hope you have nothing.

So i keep trying and i fall for silver words.

But i keep in mind...The Phantom i know.

I never want another person to feel alone.

So i stand and take on others sadness...

The Phantom helps and whispers
