[ R O S Y F U T U R E ]

I’ve got a rose
That I planted in 2018
But I’ve had the seeds
For a much longer time

I planted it in a garden
That anyone can see
Anyone that I invited
To come see my rose

But since 19 it’s been growing thorns
Destroying all the other flowers
Ruining the lawn and
Slicing into my heart

I went to look for a gardener
To cut down the rose to
When it’s just petals
And you know what they say?

„It’s just a rose. We only do brambles.“
„Brambles spread. Roses do not.“
„Deal with it. It’s just a flower.“
„Come back when you’ve grown a bramble bush.“

so it doesn’t matter that they ruin my garden.
because it was so pretty at first.
and it’s not up to your standards.
oh, you REALLY don’t want me to plant a berry bush.
