My petals are but a muddy color turned brown from vanity and greed
i've shed them hoping to become anew and blossom a new woman
but as I am ready to bear my bosom I see another petals gone brown
but I wouldnt have noticed this if it wasnt pointed out deliberately
and but one person made me question whether I was truly the poor one
if so many had made me cry over discolorations
but still I am to blame as my petals remain pink and brown
