Sitting in her black satin gown
Tears falling onto her black rose
Staring into the depths of the black waters
Watching as the ripples flow.
Depression is all shes ever known
And all shell ever know
She can no longer push away
Her demons from long ago.
Out in the garden of the castle
She watches the princes ball
She watches beautiful girls in pretty colors
Their biggest worry is that they might fall.
They dont know what its like
To fall every day
Every day slipping farther
Slipping into disarray.
Her such sad eyes rest upon the prince
And a sense of longing overcomes her
Quickly then she lowers her eyes
The prince could never love her.
She turns her tear-stained face away from the light
Unable to bear life anymore
She looks back to the waters of the fountain
Wondering what shes here for
She has to get out of this place
She cant stay here any longer
Setting her black rose on the edge of the fountain
She wishes she were stronger.
So instead of joining the party
She runs into the dark woods
Twigs snagging and tearing her dress as she runs
Unable to escape the emptiness in her heart
Though she wishes she could.
She reaches a small clearing
Bathed in moonlight, the sky lit up with stars
Her dress is torn almost to her knees
Her shoes were lost back in the dark.
Her hair is falling out everywhere
She trips and falls to the ground
Shes given up on everything
The strength to lift herself up cannot even be found
So she crawls to a large rock
And sits all alone
Her makeup smearing down her face
Down her cheeks black tears shone
A breeze began to ruffle her hair
Sending chills all the way through
When she felt a tap on her shoulder and a voice
I believe this belongs to you.
Startled she falls to the ground,
Quickly wiping her face and her clothes
She looks up right into the princes handsome face
And then sees in his hand, a black rose.
She takes his hand silently, staring into his eyes
Seeing an inner beauty that kept her in a trance
He passed the rose into her hands and said
May I have this dance?
And so they danced to the music
Of the dark and silent night
Twirling together, in perfect motion
Dancing for hours under the moonlight
So no matter how hard life gets
No matter how far down you think you are
No matter how many times you may fall
Youve never fallen too far
And when you trip theres someone to catch you
In this world youre never alone
So dry your tears and wait for tomorrow
Who knows whats yet to come.

I really like it. It's uplifting.
No matter how far down you think you are
No matter how many times you may fall
You’ve never fallen too far
And when you trip there’s someone to catch you
In this world you’re never alone
So dry your tears and wait for tomorrow
Who knows what’s yet to come.
That's great. Keep up the work, poet.
