Pearl stuck inside Rose

The Pearl stuck inside rose

Beauty is such a fine word to describe oneself

But am I the pearl stuck to love for my health,

See I am the pearl that no one seems to understand

I am beauty that tried to find love in man

But I find myself stuck in what man see as just my physical love hand and hand

Although I see the beauty that they see

I tried to show man the pearl in me

The pearl that was smart, full of laughter, and life

But silly me how could I make them see what they never wanted to see

Man saw the soft brown skin, the curves on my small body,

The natural curls in my hair, and the pretty face that made them stare

So I am the pearl stuck inside rose

The rose that’s beautiful but brains never to be exposed

Except in the books of course,

The teachers see the pearl take its course,

The teachers know that she with the highest gpa is the source,

How come they see but not man,

I help a friend in need,

But how could I know a friend had a seed,

A seed of a snake that broke promises we made

But I will always forgive a friend but not forget,

Because I too am a pearl just with a different seed,

This seed made me sick, made me sleepy, made me emotional,

Made me ashamed, made me afraid of what it was,

Then a doctor told me what’s a seed,

The seed was tiny but will grow bigger...atlas

The seed inside my pearl was life,

New life that will last nine months of my life,

So I am the pearl stuck inside rose,

What will I do, what about school, what will they say,

Is my beauty gone, what happens to me,

I’m too young, time is ticking

Get rid of it, take the pill, the potion that is common in college years,

All these chains on my pearl and rose,

I’ll never end a new pearl,

This pearl could put me on top of the rose,

Even though man doesn’t accept the new life,

I can handle a life without man for now,

Because one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,

So goodbye man who see me for pleasure,

The baby is coming and I don’t have time to measure,

I’ll give time to man that can hold two to treasure

After all I was just a pearl stuck inside rose
