Seeing Red - Turning Blue

I remember strawberry picking

Back in June

If I was a strawberry

Would you have picked me too?

Probably not,

Because if I was a strawberry,

I would be blue.

My tears would fall

But you’d mistake it for dew

Your run towards the red

As I’m worshiping you

So, I hope your red berry

Gives you deja vu

I hope you think of the strawberry

Covered in blue.

This piece is something I did during the poetry unit of my creative writing class. It's about not being what someone wants even though they are absolutely everything you want.
