Ajax (he/xe)

Roses

Roses

Red, white, yellow, purple 

Many more

So many colors

But like people,

Perfect at first sight

Take a closer look

And you will see all their thorns

A girl who doesn’t eat

A boy who can’t love who he wants

A parent struggling with finance

Deep down, we all have thorns

In all different ways, shapes, or forms.

But we only see the burdens we carry

Next time

We’ll look out for someone else

Instead
