I am the rose that grew amongst the daisies. I always stood out from the rest. For so many years I hated myself. Why God? Why make me a rose , and not a Daisy like the rest of them? I stayed angry with God. Why ? I just want to know why?! I have to have soil just so. I have to keep the bugs at bay. I have to be warry of the weeds. I have to seek the sunshine. And the daisies? They stay looking fresher than I. And these thorns i was given-- is that meant to protect me ? Or to keep them away? Why God? I just want to be like the daisies. Trade my wilting crimson petals for the snow white ones. To be like them-- to be one of them. And for once be admired not from a distance-- I guess what I'm saying is; when will a rose be wanted and not feared?
