People often say "Stop and smell the roses!" But everytime I try, they smell rotten. Which confuses me, their supposed to smell nice right? The scent makes me feel so scared, because, is something wrong with me? Am I broken? Why can't I smell the roses too? Every day I try to smell them, catch that sweet, grounding scent. But it just makes me wanna gag. I wish I could smell what everyone else does. I promise I try. But no matter what, The roses smell the same.
