For Anna

Your beauty can be portrayed with a gentle smile
your eyes give away what you truly hide
like a rose with thorns at its stem
Deadly yet beautiful
A precious being to those in your life
and who left it
Surrounded by a hard shell
but truly seeking one to break those barriers surrounding your heart
A hard life live but still striving forward
Enviying most around you
... Your petals will wither but once again grow beautiful
never letting the storms cloud your mind with despair for long
Strong willed on the outside
Hiding on the inside
For whatever troubles your aching heart
Will soon be carried away by the winds of change
light will overpower your darkness
And you will become a new.
