Rose Petals on Fire
Sometimes in life
you have to realize that
life is like falling rose
petals on fire,
like the rain is dripping
acid carving into our skin,
that maybe life is not supposed
to be perfect,
or what is now considered
perfect,
that maybe it's okay to go
out and be yourself,
that you can go out and wear tight
clothes if you are bigger,
that bulimic girls can eat
all their food and not puke it
up,
or that cutter can go out and show
their maddness inside and scars,
that a gay person can go out with
their lover and kiss in front of
hundreds of people and not care,
because we are human,
we all make mistakes,
and we all have the right to be happy
and not care what people will think
