POEM- A FAUX ROSE

POEM- A FAUX ROSE 

Roses with no thorns 
pretty but with no arms
bleached skin with no marks
lost the character it got
the gap between the thighs and
the rose knuckles you got 
are so perfect and so loud

it silences me, takes away my light
i try to have earmuffs but 
forget every time
i blame it on my genes
and it is an excuse
half of it might be true
but the other half does
buy my sleep and 
kills my mind
why can't i be you?
and live your life
it might suck
and i know it will
but certainly, i will still 
be happy knowing 
finally, i got a rose 
the one with no thorns
indeed, so perfect and so faux
