Thrashing Flame
What do I do?
Do I deserve this?
Given all that I can stand
I know it's trivial.
But, even then
It's up to them
To see the rose inside the setting sun.
Is it not the same?
Shall I set the rose on fire?
Let dance the thrashing flame?
It's not real
And yet it's mine.
Just breathe, it'll be ok.
No! That's a lie!
It's soiled and clotted
And they wonder why.
It's because I loved
And love never favors me!
Just ask the rose that died.

Writing can often be complex, and some people don't ever practice. The important thing is, when you get good at it, few things can help you more in life.
