I am Rose, by a rose by any otha name Subscribe to rss feed for a rose by any otha name

I am Rose and Rose I am, 
Born in the year of the snake I'ver been forced to grow into
my skin, 
Pressured to fit in with the masses, 
My skin only covers so much, 
Enough to disguise what society condemns so by day I am
perfection, 
By night I shed my shell and roam free, 
Exposing all that makes me unique, 
For I am Rose and Rose I am, 
I lie low to the earth as all snakes do I manuever through
crowds without ever walking, 
Seductive by nature and wise of mind I amaze all that come
across me, 
Mind over matter, 
Mental over physical, 
My mind is my most dangerous weapon, 
Introverted with a gregarious twist, 
For I am Rose and Rose I am, 
Born in the month of August, 
Ruled by the of the Zodiac, Leo the Lion, 
I posses the power to remain on your mind, 
Faithful in belief and romantic in sight, 
I create thousands of fantasies to float through life, 
Thriving for fun and not quite able to reach it, 
Possessing a braod philosophical mind, 
I am not easily influenced by the direction of the wind, 
For I am Rose and Rose I am, 
By the lines in my hands, 
You can see the generous nature of my heart, 
God fobid that I'm left vulnerable, 
I hate surprises but I fear disapointment even more, 
I love too easily, I love too hard, 
I dom't love enough, 
Prone to fall for the roughest kind of man, 
I set myself up to rise only to fall, 
Yet you would never know, 
Cause I smile through the pain and laugh through the tears,

For I am Rose and Rose I am,
