THE PRETTIEST ROSES HAVE THORNS

Sticking slightly out in the crowd

But also blending in somehow


Everyone is blue

But I am a light gray

Not all that different

But still not the same

I'm not as bright

Nor quite as clear

But I can still blend in

Just don't come near


Where they shine bright and bubbly

I glow dark and murky


Sometimes I wonder why they can't see me

Disguising myself as normal, am I that stealthy ?

They talk sports

And I speak songs

They're teachers pets who get along

I'm not hated. Or very well liked.

My head stays down and I slip by.

Unnoticed, unseen, I'm an invisible queen.

With a crown made of glass

My heads a bleeding gash

Id give anything to break it

Watch it shatter with a smash

I want nothing more than to be the same as the masses.

For this crown that I'm holding, I wonder if I'm worthy?


I don't have the skills to disguise all my differences,

The things that make me brilliant, also disguise me to witnesses


Fields of tulips and brilliant sunflowers

With a single grey rose, holding no special powers

Thorned all over, and covered in sins

Every angle a hidden pain, some new thorn for others to prick with disdain. 

I sway in the winds, my hope is caving in.

I want to have color, so I suck it from others.

Hoping that they dont wilt to quickly in my presence.

F

rom the poison that is my essence.
