I began to reveal my authentic face and
walk on this captivating yet painful world
only when I took a deep stare at my core
wound.

I had come from such unfamiliar lands
trying to find a home to mend my injuries
brought from a troubled life only to learn that
my trauma not even Freud could cure

And so

I stared at myself and saw a thorn rose
determined to become a lovely rose bush.
only when I stared at my deep wound
was I able to show my authentic face

such a beautiful creatures have I become
pure love and tenderness run through
my veins, no longer hiding in the darkness
for alone I have mended my wounds

I began to show my authentic face and
walk on this beautiful yet painful world
only when I took a deep stare at my core
wounds.

I had come from such alien lands
trying to find a motherland to repair my injuries
brought from an uneasy life only to realize that
my trauma not even Freud could cure

And so

I stared at myself and saw a single rose
destined to become a lovely rose bush.
