Fuchsia

I was down.

 

And so I decided I needed flowers.

 

But not roses. Because roses have thorns.

And I am so sensitive lately.

 

I decided, not mixed flowers.

Because I’m mixed up.

And I need to stabilize.

 

I decided, not tulips.

Because tulips droop.

 

I decided,

I need gerbera daisies, bright.

 

Because gerbera daisies stand upright.

 

And so I bought some

in a wonderful shade of Fuchsia.
