The unique orange,

I wanted to be just like her

But you must bloom just as bright,

To become her, is a beautiful delight.

I know, I know I’m a red spotted cauliflower

How dare I think I was right.

Suddenly rushing for answers, a melting bright yellow tree has one last thing to say.

“Hello Mrs. Cauliflower, thank you for coming my way!”

Through the yellow drippings of her leaves, a yellow-red cauliflower believes;

“I wasn’t born orange, but born with many things: love, hope, and ambition,

Could forever accomplish my dreams.

Too often I forget that I'm just a bright and bitter orange, cause instead, you make me feel like outraging fire in your hands ready for the coldness of the world.

I fell in love with a lamb,

Oh no, oh why

I’m a carnivorous Lion, in love with her eyes

My lady, oh baby

A forbidden desert

The entree of life

Brought here by the earth

I imagine the taste of her flesh

Unable to deny it,

Contemplating the damage it’ll do to my diet

Something worth my while

Like a diabetic predator having a sweet tooth of a child

Lost in a candy store, that they can’t explore

Why must you be too sweet for me to endure.

The sugar from your lips, created an avenue

Solely guided from your hips, so that I would forever

Have the pleasure of looking at you.

I remember you.

Multiple reflections of my ear to ear smiles,

As I gazed into your eyes

After traveling 3,000 miles

Longing for your touch,

Reminiscing on the way

My heart dancing to the beat of your drumming every day

Resembling the water

That keeps me alive

Like Chamomile tea, healing me inside

Soothing my pain,

You’re better than a drug, more addicting than cocaine,

Happier than the high

My reminder of every day, that I should be alive.

To Eve,

Be bright, tempting, and confident. But don’t be ashamed, insecure, and lost in it.

See the world is cruel, we argue not for understanding but for status. So don’t explain yourself, but rather dig your heel into the concrete of this earth and speak the fuck up for what you believe in babygirl.
