My First Rose

My first rose,
Is when I finally chose, 
To open up my heart, and draw myself a new start.
Like the flowers that bloom, this couldn't come too soon, 
Wilted and forlorn, I was ready for the dawn.
Finishing this, my first drawing,
Felt like embracing a new morning.
​
When I was young,  
I found solace in my art,  
But I became filled with self disdain,
And couldn't handle the pain.  
On paper all I could see, 
Was weakness within me,
So to protect my heart,
I tore everything apart.
​
Now I'm healing my scars,
And dreaming of stars, 
I was ready for the end, 
But now it's my imagination that will ascend. 
It doesn't matter where I am, or if life doesn't go to plan, 
If I only close my eyes, In mystical worlds I can fly. 
​
With a pencil in hand, I'm in a world I understand, 
With every stroke of pure bliss, this paper I can kiss. 
Creating art, feels like erasing the past, 
Drawing something new, 
Makes a hopeful future feel true. 
 
The poem will be included; 
printed with a filigree border, to match the dark undertones in the story!
