she is a tulip in a garden of roses

carmourflaged in a sea of red but is the one noone ever chooses

she stays closed up as there is stigma attached to her insides

it is her only protection as she has no thorns and cannot hide

if she ever bloomed she would finally be picked up

but she knew that meant being picked at for being different

so she grew her roots deep and her stem short

that noone could see her weep a puddle of salt
