Chapter 4 - The Rose Bush and The Lily

The rose bush stood gracefully in the open,

No pattern to the flower's arrangement like the discordant writing of a broken soul,

The flowers red and all at different points of blooming, different stages in their lives.

-

Then stood a white lily close by,

It looked up to the bush and almost cried,

It didn't bother speaking up in rhyme,

The thought of it was just a waste of time.

-

Then the bush looked down too see,

What a little flower was underneath,

Oh small pathetic plant, my beauty, style and ways are beyond you,

So small and fragile,

I shall take control and make you as majestic as me.

-

The thorns wrapped around the lily,

It made it feel worthless with the things it said,

Forcing its ways onto the fragile plant,

It was wilting as it all happened,

-

Oh the poor flower look at it,

So weak, So fragile,

That now it's dead.
