briar rose,

briar rose,

escape me from this hellhole.

stop the world from sleeping

but let it prick its finger

and fufill the dreaded curse

one of revenge,

but none that is yours

only it affects you

and everything you have

how do you sleep peacfully, briar rose?

is is even possible to be so calm?

when all you know is fear and hatred

of the one who caused you harm.
