Depressed, Little Rose
June 1, 2010
Depressed, little rose, why so scared?
Tear down the walls and let beauty shine through
The hurtful thorns you’ve put up to stay inside your shell
Defending your tiny, pained heart, are you?
Depressed, little rose, why so scared?
You’re a crimson diamond in the rough
So gorgeous and pure
Deeply barricaded for you’ve surely had enough
Depressed, little rose, why so scared?

I loved it, Leesh. Yes I am defending it and I do not intend on letting the thorns down again...I am scared because I do not want to get hurt again...
