She was the girl without flaws

Isolated and alone

always beyond reach

Too "perfect" they said

But Afraid too,

not of her veiled thorns

As they should've been

But Afraid of her

Superiority,

she never knew she had.

Little did they know

of her one

Imperfection

For not one could truly love her

Perhaps not because of her "Superiority" or her

untouchable beauty

But because she was crowned with thorns

Crown of Thorns

by: Tiffany Lei

Inspired by the quote:

"Learn to love with all you heart and accept the faults of others in your life. Remember, anyone can love a rose, but it takes a great heart to include the thorns."
