The Beauty of Tragedy

Blossoms are so unique

They bloom with such grace.

But when they tell the truth

They fall out of place

Thorns do not lie

But they scare the naked eye

A silhouette could float by

And suddenly begin to cry

Oh Blossoms, Can you fly?

Come on, at least try.

Roses are red

On the nails of beauty

But when they turn blue,

Their drift will turn moody

Children laughing at the faces that glow

But what will they think when you show them what they don't know?

Have you not really grown?

Can't you condone?

When I walk inside your house

I saw horrible things.

Diamonds of fools,

And a plethora of rings.

As an explorer I sing:

"When will you get lost again"

You put on a beautiful mask

And you get to play pretend.

I'm "happy"

I'm "excited"

I'm "wonderful"

I'm "beautiful"

...

How cruel can you be,

When you don't even hug yourself?
