I Am the Rose in the Devil's Garden.
"Rose Of The Devil's Garden"

There is a rose in the Devil's garden
In shadow it grows alone
Many things are dangerous now
In this garden we call home

Be careful as you make your way
Some things are poison to the touch
You've spent your life here in this place
You long to run away so much

[Chorus:]
My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)
Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)
And as this dark romance grows...
It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away
Above the Devil's garden

The fertile soil of poisoned hearts
Fed by tears and nighttime rain
Under Transylvanian moon
Grows the flower bred from pain

Death is pure - life is not
So ask yourself, what do you want?
As for me, well I want you
So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you

[Chorus]

--Tiger Army

I'm a little hellraiser. Or, at least, I decided to become one today.

Living in the UC Santa Cruz dorms has been rather enlightening as an experience. I'm certainly learning about myself.

Life's never been easy for me. I've never fit in. For a long time, that hurt a lot. My family's dysfunctional. For a long time, that messed me up.

I'm still hurt and still messed up, but I'm better able to appreciate it now.

All things happen for a reason. And the things in my life have made it more beautiful. Painful, yes, but also undoubtedly beautiful.

Just like a rose of the devil's garden would be, I think. Back | Older | Current | Next

About Me

I'm just an average 19 year-old girl from California, trying to figure out my place in the world. Madness and mayhem prevail in my existence as I navigate university life and try to figure out just what I want from myself. It's an interesting adventure. Want to know anything about me, just ask.

The Devil's Rose

Because I'm always curious where people get their screennames from, here's why mine's 'devils-rose': one of my favorite songs is called "Rose in the Devil's Garden" by Tiger Army. That's the main reason, that and my life can be quite hellish. So it just kind of worked for me.
