Black Rose

Can you see the black rose, sitting there in the field 

All alone among other roses, that are red and white

Why does this one rose stand alone among them all? 

Could it be because it is black and not like the rest

Some admire to stand alone in a world that can be so cold

Some despise to stand apart by others from which they think it need support

Look closer ... still closer

For you can begin to see 

The black rose start to wilt from within.

Why not from without 

you might ask.

Standing alone gets lonely

the rose wants to change to be like others 

Only to can hide itself and lose the unique beauty that is held

within to be shown without, so, what it will be,

Now the black rose is wilting from within and without
