I am the rose that you did not water.

You wanted me to wither away!

I grew from the hurt, pain, and the dirt you threw on me.

My petals dropped as you spit hateful words that reflect who you are.

You tried to stop the rain,

The sprinkles touched my soul.

I did not fold!

I will continue to grow.

I took my power back!

Roses are Red!
