The Beauty of the Rose Bush by CJ Wagner Indeed, i say It’s not always shades of gray In my opinion, its green and red Just like the rose bush and its head When your joyous, you’ve reached the peak of your being It’s just like the rose bush, doesn’t say a greeting When your happy, having the time of your life It’s just like the rose bush, no more strife When you playing a game, and having so much fun It’s just like the rose bush, you don’t have to run When you sit there bored, feeling empty inside It’s just like the rose bush, quick, go hide When you get a bad grade, and all hell comes through It’s just like the rose bush, it’s just like you When your shunned, excused, hated, confused It’s just like the rose bush, it’s not amused When there is war, famine, insecurity and death It’s just like the rose bush, it never has to take a breath When that you hold closest dies, never to be seen again’ It’s just like the rose bush, rotting till the end When it’s all over, and you made the wrong choices It’s just like the rose bush, a burden now hoisted Your gone, down, burning away And then it really is all shades of gray You see my friends, life is a rose bush, but you should mourn Because most of the time, life is just the thorn
