This is a beautiful flower.
But this is not a rose.
She might pass for being a rose to some people.
From time to time, she might trick you into thinking that she is one.
She is beautiful but not the rose.
This is an important distinction to notice.
All her life she is pressured into being like a rose - longing to be the symbol of love, irresistible desire, and ephemeral beauty.
But she will never amount up to being one.
She is just not cut in the right places.
She will never be as beautiful or as precious as a rose.
Someone might pluck her off her plant thinking she is a rose but toss her as soon as he realizes she isn't one.
The curse of this flower is that they do not let her stay with her plant because she looks like a rose but they do not keep her with them either because she is not a rose.
So, she is neither her plant's nor his who plucks her.
She belongs to essentially no one.
Yet she continues to hope....
stupid flower!
