No Bed of Roses: A Poem
No Bed of Roses: A Poem
Like broken glass I try to piece together what once was
Looks like this fairy tale was not what I thought it could be
My bed of flowers used to be fun just because
I guess I didn't know there were thorns I couldn't see
Life is harder than I expected
I took a different page than what You directed
I'm not quite sure which future chapter I had inspected
All I know is that a storybook rhyme has not been detected
Waves are crashing around the balcony
Sometimes I long to jump, to show the hero within
Most of the time I know my heart lacks that bravery
My soul battles with You and me, painting on my face a grin
Life is harder than I expected
I try to take the page that You've directed
I made sure your chapters are what I inspected
All I know is that a storybook ending has been detected.
