Not Every Thorn Has A Rose

by maggalina

Roxanne Weasley is tired of being compared to Rose, beautiful Rose, kind Rose, perfect Rose. She can't help being trouble, her dad doesn't mind, but the rest of the family is tired of her not being enough like Rose.

I am not her

She is a Rose

In beauty

In name

In everyone's eyes

I am the thorn

The troublemaker

As I live up to my last name

so she lives to her given name

I am a Weasley

as is she

but she is also

a Rose

Careful

Gentle

Beautiful

I am a Weasley

Trouble

Trouble

Trouble

Tough

but not worth it

Do I want to be like her?

Never.

No...

Maybe.

Yes?

For once I want to be the one

the teacher's love

who gets the guy

who isn't a screw-up

Just once I want to be the rose

and not the thorn
