Blood red petals unfurling,
a pretty fan masking the thorns beneath,
who would think something so beautiful,
could probably conceal ensnaring thorns?
That’s all it is,
an ugly truth,
masked by the unfurled petals of a pretty lie,
who would think one could gaze upon something of such beauty,
and feel so much guilt,
I hope that’s all they see,
The pretty petals,
how long until the petals fall away?
How long until they see all the blood?
All the blood that’s mine,
that’s hidden under the rose?

Thank you very much for commenting, I never thought about it like that, but that is very true.  Sometimes the lie is prettier than the truth so we choose to believe that lie. Once again thank you! xD

&quot;The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.&quot;<br /> &mdash;Apple&rsquo;s &ldquo;Think Different&rdquo; commercial, 1997<br /> &ldquo;Crazy people are considered mad by the rest of the society only because their intelligence isn&#039;t understood.&rdquo; <br /> ― Weihui Zhou

Extraordinarily beautiful. That first line drew me in immediatley. "Blood red petals unfurling"—the imagery palpitates throughout the poem. And the message is deep and should be heeded by all people. I think the poem is about people. At least, to me it is. Because people can be roses too. Beautiful on the inside but mean on the outside. Concealing so much nasty truth. It spoke a lot to me. And I think it's a beautiful poem.—I know it's a lovely poem.
