Can you see the black rose <br />sitting there in the field <br />all alone among other roses <br />that are red and white <br /> <br />Why does this one rose <br />stand alone among them all? <br />Could it be because it is black <br />and not like the rest <br /> <br />Some admire to stand alone <br />in a world that can be so cold <br />Some despise to stand apart <br />by others from which they get support <br /> <br />Look closer - still closer <br />for you can begin to see <br />the black rose start to wilt <br />from within. <br /> <br />Why not from without <br />you might ask. <br />Standing alone gets lonely <br />the rose wants to change to be like others <br /> <br />Only to kill off <br />the unique beauty that is held <br />within to be shown without, so <br />the black rose is wilting from within not without<br /><br />to those who wonder what life is about<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-black-rose-wilting-from-within/
