I Am A Rose

I am a rose,
My heart budding.
My stem grows,
My tears flooding.

Refrain from touch,
My thorns prickle.
Just try to kiss me,
Blood will trickle.

Confine me to a vase,
I will break free.
I’ll burn you inside,
As you did to me.

I am a rose,
My heart sheer.
I am a fighter,
My future is clear.
