Be a Rose


Be a Rose
By Diana Jillian



To break out of your shell
You must face whatever hell
For addiction is a security blanket

Get the mind to unwind
Set it back on rewind
But don’t go too far back

To figure what went wrong
Or to place it into a song
Don’t let yourself get trampled on

Focus a face in the crowd
When things get too loud
To help keep you in the light

You can be both: soft as a petal
And as hard and sharp as a metal
Remain the thorny, sweet Rose

When life gets too loud
Remember to face the crowd
Find that familiar face
