I Am Not A Cactus

I am not a cactus.

I am a rose.

I have layers of petals.

I am not as discrete.

I am soft

I won't hurt you with needles.

Treat me like the rose I am

I need water

I can't thrive like a cactus can.

Tend to me, love me

and I will be beautiful.

Care for me, hug me

fill my red soul.
