Life is like a rose <br />Full of glamour and shine <br />The color, clear and always true <br />The pedals, thick and full of life <br />The smell, pure and so fresh. <br /> <br />It's like life... <br /> <br />Your Love, clear and always true <br />Your personality, thick and full of life <br />Your relations, pure and so fresh. <br /> <br />But there is also evil in a rose <br />Just think of the thorns... <br /> <br />Sharp and strong <br />Like the nightmares you have <br />Like a tear, ready to fall <br />Like your heart, breaking for the first time <br />Even like a papercut, on your hand. <br /> <br />Life is like a rose. <br /> <br />Clear and always true <br />Thick and full of life <br />Pure and so fresh <br /> <br />And yet, it's still <br />Sharp and strong <br />Ready to come back at you.<br /><br />Amanda Kieling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rose-12/
