Rose Bush

I surround myself with thorns
To look dangerous and out of reach
This way I distance myself
So I don't hurt anybody
And if you try to pry into my life
It's going to hurt
So why do you even bother?
One by one as the thorns scratch and pierce
Just stop trying to get to me
Once you reach the center of my rose bush
You silly fool
How are you going to get out?
It's going to be more painful getting out
My vines would entangle on to you
Because I can't let go of things easily
Deep in the rose bush protected by vines
Out of the sunshine
Where I'll do just fine
Maybe it's best if you leave me alone
Because this rose bush is what's mine
