Roses
May 31, 2022
Roses are red, and violets are blue. Everyone
knows these things. They accept them as true.
But the rose I own is purple, and my violets are
green. Why are mine different? What does it
mean? Are my flowers diseased? Is there any
cure? Is there anyway I can feel less insecure?
Maybe the rules should change.
Roses can be yellow, and violets can be pink.
Flowers can be all colors, and every flower is
unique. I'll never see my rose and go,
"why can't you be red?" I'll never question the color of my flowers ever again.
