Life is so ironic to understand fully, it takes sadness to know what is happiness. noise to distinguish silent and a broken heart to find true love.

She is a rose
Most beautiful of all
She is a rose
Even as her petals fall

She is a rose
Be careful of her thorns
She is a rose
Been weather worn

She is a rose
Broken and smashed
She is a rose
But treated like trash.

She is a rose
But feels like a weed
She is a rose
And still has needs

She is a rose

She is a rose
Most Beautiful of all
She is a rose
Though her petals may fall.

Don't you just hate it when you see someone who it totally misunderstood and mistreated? If people would just take the time to get to know someone before making judgments, or better yet, don't make judgments, but try to understand, our lives would be so much better...

Yah! It's up! I love this and have been waiting a while so that I could tag it as a favorite! I love this, there are so many things in this world that are taken for granted, and it is always worse when that thing is a person. Im glad I found a poem that is a good reminder of that. When we say that a girl is a rose, all of a sudden it is sad to see her mistreated, but sometimes we couldn't care less when it comes to an actual person. Why is that?
