I'm just a shadow of a Rose A place where hopelessness grows Where thorns are welcome And pain is all but seldom No one can see me bloom They have given up on this gloom Can't fight what I am A woman or a man Admire me for who I am Hate me for having no glam Love me now my friends and foes As I was once a beautiful rose As I wither in the cold and rain No one comes to ease my pain I promise again that I'll change But my words are worthless and enrage Those that loved me Have said "you can't see" The beautY and purity as you were born Now the painful beauty of a thorn.
