My Own Rose

Don't forget
That I'm not like other girls
That I'm not looking
To get into any trouble
Even when trouble
Finds me
Because it does
Especially
When I expect it
The least
Out comes the beast
Off leash
Don't forget
That I can take no for an answer
Not like I've never been refused
Not like I'm confused
I'd rather be the one
Giving no as an answer
Than having my heart abused
Than continuing to be short fused
Than being the one who isn't chosen
Because I chose
To be my own rose
