Each rose has thorns;
When you try to pluck one...
It sinks painfully into your skin
Setting the blood free.

But the beauty surpasses all.
So captivating... So enthralling...

Thorns:
are the walls that protect one from storms,
That are as deadly as sin,
And as ruthless as the demons that lie within.

Don't dwell in your petals,
And don't cry over your thorns;
Because thorns live longer,
While petals dissolve in dirt...
