Peonies
sometimes I think about the peonies and
wonder why some people would hate them
they're bright, pink, and smell good,
but some people are just allergic
they can't value them simply because
they can't breathe around them
maybe I am
the peony
and maybe some people
are just allergic
to me,
but some people won't be
and they will think I am beautiful
and they would love to put me in
a vase on their kitchen table
and watch me bloom
everyday
