Tears of Rose

Feeling out of place

In the golden cloud of regret she wept quietly
Not wanting to be there, sent there forcefully
Planted in a field of dandelions excluding her
A fine blossom she avoided she was
Sorry was the gardener’s word, leaning in to remove her
Before her thorns proved how strong she was.
