From The Shady Rose.
“You might like it if
I were shady like you.”


I am like a daisy
amongst the roses,
I am considered as a ****.

I am wild and free,
I am not like the others around me.

I have made my bed under the trees,
I have shade and cover
but the roses like to tease me,
trying to steal my
comfortable bed.

I have done nothing but keep
my side of the street clean,
only to have my neighbors
dump their trash on my walkway.
