I'm afraid that, at one point or another, I'm going to force myself to stop feeling this way about you, As I have done many times before with others. It correlates to the feeling of rejection and hurt, Enabling me to run away from my own fears with my cowardice anxiety by my side, Gripping tightly to my hand and furthering away from you.                                               Whilst there, at this new home and safety                                                                                                          of mine,                                           A woman asked me of why I'd run. Why I'd                                                         used up energy to escape a lovingly                                                                                            positive feeling.                                                               And created it to be a bad thing.                                              I explained to her my past, and how it has                                                           made me fearful of a future in that                                                                                                          regards.                                                                           She showed me a garden,                                                         Colours strikingly bright to the eye,                                                                Buzzes coming from the insect's                                                                                                     excitement                                           And I'd noticed, within a large group of red                                                                            roses, there laid a yellow                                                                             Leant against a red rose.                                                                         I asked her, why only one?                                                       And why within the midst of all red?                                               She told me she'd painted it, for whatever                                               reason she wasn't sure, and she was quite                                                    certain it was slowly killing the flower.                                         She asked me which I had noticed first, and I                                                told her the yellow, to which she replied:                                                    "Out of a large group of red, your eyes                                                               focused on the yellow. Out of all                                              negatives, my dear, you should only focus                                                                                          on the positives."                                "Of course," she added. "Only in these situations."

How Are Red Roses Yellow (2)
I'm afraid that, at one point or another, I'm going to force myself to stop feeling this way about you, As I have done many times before with others. It correlates to the feeling of rejection and hurt, Enabling me to run away from my own fears with my cowardice anxiety by my side, Gripping tightly to my hand and furthering away from you.                                               Whilst there, at this new home and safety                                                                                                          of mine,                                           A woman asked me of why I'd run. Why I'd                                                         used up energy to escape a lovingly                                                                                            positive feeling.                                                               And created it to be a bad thing.                                              I explained to her my past, and how it has                                                           made me fearful of a future in that                                                                                                          regards.                                                                           She showed me a garden,                                                         Colours strikingly bright to the eye,                                                                Buzzes coming from the insect's                                                                                                     excitement                                           And I'd noticed, within a large group of red                                                                            roses, there laid a yellow                                                                             Leant against a red rose.                                                                         I asked her, why only one?                                                       And why within the midst of all red?                                               She told me she'd painted it, for whatever                                               reason she wasn't sure, and she was quite                                                    certain it was slowly killing the flower.                                         She asked me which I had noticed first, and I                                                told her the yellow, to which she replied:                                                    "Out of a large group of red, your eyes                                                               focused on the yellow.

how are red roses yellow, part 2, is essentially a poem based off of dream I had, mixed with my own words of positivity encouragement & briefly from what I'd been told by 2/3 teachers of mine from school last year.
