Behind The Rose

Roses have thorns, we have anger and emotions

Behind The Rose

People often see the rose,

the petals carefully arranged,

never noticing the thorns

hidden underneath.

They admire what is shown,

the colours and the shape,

without wondering

what helped it survive.

Life has a way

of teaching resilience,

often through lessons

we never asked to learn.

There were days of rain,

days of uncertainty,

days when giving up

felt much easier.

Yet something remained,

a small quiet strength,

refusing to disappear

when things became difficult.

Perhaps that is enough,

not perfection,

not victory,

just continuing forward.

And maybe that is where

real beauty lives,

in the courage to grow

despite everything.
