Standing alone
facing a raging storm
with tornadoes of hate
sweeping everything
that lit with hope
Standing alone
Your body flamed with courage
even when it rained insults
Your flame still burned with more passion
than ever
Standing alone, scanning the surroundings
all those supportive bodies that were once there
were stripped to their true ignorant nature
by the winds of truth
Standing alone, realizing
that not all were support
but they were just mere puppets
in a show
Now that the curtains are down
and the winds blew away that facade
that harnessed a skeleton of lies
Your world was better without them
Standing alone, knowing yourself
was like walking through a field of roses
The thorns made it a rough journey
but you were seduced by the beauty of those roses
that hover on top of all that thorny evil
Standing alone, in the middle of that rose field
You notice, the roses slowly tilt towards you
You realize, your aura
It’s lighting again, the flame of courage has helped
The thorny path merely shielded you
strengthened you
The roses slowly, embrace you
as they tighten, you feel that piercing
thorny sensation,
You are being injected
by life’s beauty, nothing is that easy
As they tighten their clasp
You close your eyes, hoping for your survival instincts
to kick in
You close your eyes, hoping for the pain to go away
Wait… what’s happening
the pain is subsiding, yet you can still smell
the beautiful rosey scent
You opened your eyes, hesitating
scared, of witnessing something
against your prediction
You noticed that you too
have evolved into a rose
emerging from thorny roots
seeking great heights
A beauty among beauties
Portraying such peaceful pulchritude
Tempting without altering them
about the thorns that might inflict pain
For you have earned that right
of becoming so beautiful
from all that pain
WAW!
