Everything red, that once was green.

Rage & anger replace peace & serene.

Where I once smelled safety in the spring smelling leaves,

Now lurks danger, worry & all the pet peeves.

“Green for go, let’s do this!” old, naive me would have said.

New me, only see’s dangers & no way’s; I only see red.

I took for granted, how everything felt so positive.

I yearn for that long lost feeling, now I feel hopeless & destructive.

But wait… roses are red?

And as we know, violets are blue.

If there’s happiness & love seen in this flower bed,

Perhaps there is hope yet for me too?..
