You Are a Rose
I once heard someone say, If you don't change you do not grow, But I waved the thought away, For who were they to think they know, I'd always stayed the same, A heart that thrived within the cold, And I had no desire to change, At least that's what I had been told, But deep within my mind, A thought grew slowly, bit by bit, Until I felt trapped in my skin, For it no longer seemed to fit, There's a whole world sitting out there, Changing every single day, That proves it's nothing to be scared of, If you do it the right way, For a day afraid to turn to night, Will miss the silver moon, And a flower that refuses change, Will never get to bloom, I had thought I was a thorn bush, Only good for snagging clothes, But if you do not dare to change, You'll never find out you're a rose.
