"Rose in Weeds"
Poetic inspiration coming out of nowhere...as usual.
Rose In Weeds
By: Keon Davis
Wasn’t raised in any special way…
Tilled in the same soil…
Starved of fertilizer, water, and sunlight
Just like the rest…
Yet, the rose grew regardless.
Strong, tall, and proud,
The only one in a sea of weeds.
No matter how bright the petals, however,
Its crimsom glory went unnoticed.
The gardeners gave more care to the weeds;
Put them in beautiful bouquets,
And showcased them proudly….
While the rose remained in the dirt,
Its scarlet beauty passed over.
It wondered why.
Why did every one say it was beautiful,
Marveled at its velvet petals…
Yet no one wanted it….
