I am not a cactus

by @yvette-mushimiyimana

Im not a cactus. I am a rose. I have layers of petals. I am not as discrete. I am soft I won't hurt you with needles. Treat me like the rose I am I need water I can't thrive like a cactus can. Tend to me, love me and I will be beautiful. Care for me, hug me fill my red soul.
