Insecure...

You stand there

Insecurities wrapped around you

Like a stubborn rose bud going against nature

Refusing to bloom

Let the world see you for who you are

Let them appreciate your beauty

Let your petals spread wide and bask in the sun

Absorb the warm rays; let it deepen your hues

Let your scent spread far and wide

Live, love and appreciate life

Instead of becoming a withered rose

Who hasn’t lived a single day

Because life doesn’t wait

And it’s too precious to waste.
