Poetry

Roses go through a lot of pain and heartbreak in order to blossom. 'The Delicacy Of A Rose' includes hers, theirs and my own personal experiences which in the hopes of our dreams, allows others to grow. Experiences include living in a conservative society, being diagnosed with a medical condition, getting chased by the demons of the past, dealing with anxiety and depression, overcoming poisonous thorns, dreaming about a fairytale life, and blossoming into a rose who has let go of the extra petals. "These pages of magic include some topics we are not allowed to ever touch. They tell me to hold my lips together by attaching a lock... I'm sorry, these lips cannot be locked forever."
