Your roughness, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.

A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

Rough Ways
Your roughness, a hardened light,
In your touch, no delight.
Every act, a harsh stream,
In your presence, no peaceful dream.
Your rough ways, a guiding star,
In your touch, we wander far.
Thank you for the lessons taught,
In your roughness, understanding's sought.
With your harshness, I see the truth,
In your rough ways, proof.

Harsh Heart
Your roughness, a shadowed path,
In your touch, a hidden wrath.
Every act, a harsh beam,
In your presence, no peaceful dream.
Hoping you find calm one day,
And let your harshness sway.
Thank you for the clarity found,
In your roughness, my truth is bound.
About Someone
Rough Edges
In the harshness of your ways,
Lies a world of rugged days.
Each word you speak, each thought you hold,
Reflects a heart, bold.
Your roughness, a shadowed light,
Turns brightness into night.
With every move, every cheer,
You show a heart, sincere.
In your ruggedness, life does sing,
A melody of everything.
Forever rough, forever true,
In your spirit, life renews.
