“Rose”
“Rose”
A rose
is like me
in so many ways.
The outer petals
are like my stories
of who I am
and what’s going on
and has gone on in my life.
The inner petals
are like my secrets.
The more you unwrap
the more private and hurtful they get.
The center of the rose
is like my heart, vulnerable
to all that unwrap the petals of my heart.
If I let you unwrap my rose,
Please be careful with my heart
for I have placed it in your hands.
Please don’t let it wilt away.
