Many people came to me and said
“If you don’t change, you don’t grow”
But I just waved them away
For who were they who thought they know
Day by day the words entered me
With time the thought settled in
To let out all the feelings
The cold, hard world I hid within
Those words suddenly hit hard
The realization then crept in
Until a point came as such
Where I felt trapped in my own skin
Change is necessary, to know what you are
‘Cause if you are always showing
That you’re thorny outside
You will never be able to make out
The hidden rose inside
🌹🌹 Thank you for reading 🌹🌹
” …if you are always showing
That you’re thorny outside
You will never be able to make out
The hidden rose inside”
Perfect !!

Thorny side has value, only to protect oneself. You’re right , not always. Very good poem

Good point. But I want to say that if one always stays thorny outside, he/she also becomes that inside.
Thanks for reading 😊
