Unfading Rose

You are gracious to these people who still upset you. You are resistant to this life that pretends to forget you. You are peaceful, against those who constantly attack you. You are strong, despite all the weight on your shoulders. You're running away, even though you know you can't escape yourself. You hold your breath, even though you're not afraid of drowning. You're growing up, even though you've never seen rain. You are a rose that never fades, even though you have never seen the sun.
