Deception of Perception
June 13, 2014
We're all born as white roses.
Pure. Flawless.
As time goes on the clean rose, drops of scarlet are bedded into the rose.
There will be a time you shall no longer see white.
You'll no longer see the innocence of the rose.
It's gone.
The rose is now now draped in fresh blood.
And instead of mourning for the loss.
We celebrate.
The vermilion rose, to everyone is
beautiful.
glamorous.
How. How could the crimson rose have such beauty
when it's soaked
in sin.
