A Rose by another name

Updated: Dec 28, 2021


"I have been sold,

m called a bride

but truth is that I am a slave

A rose by another

Sold into the life I live in

plucked from the ground I came from

They have cut my roots

so I could forget the ground I rose from

I am a rose by another name...


 

just a slave

I belong to him

bought for him

Bought at a price by him

therefore I am a slave

a rose by another name

because I am his

His wants, his desires

are my life's instructions

for I live to fulfil them

I am a rose yet by another name

just a slave

His voice voice have become the written words

Which dictate my very world

Shapes my very thoughts and convictions

For I bow down to the very limitations outlined by the sound of his voice

For he is 'Word and I the slave

So I bow down and remain in my place

For there is a role to be played

A slave


I am rose by another name

Which He plucks to become his ideal wife

a slave

knowing no true love

for I am a possession he owns

thus he plucks at my petals as though to know if I do love him

But no

For I am just rose by another name which calls wife"
