To Peel an Orange


If I peel an orange, no one thinks much of it.

If I peel a rose, would people judge my actions?

Positively,or negatively?

By any expression shown onmy ce

Why do they? Everyone knows the answer is yes.

But why?

If over time, Rose petals fall on their own, but it's seen wong if I were to peel the petals off.

But an orange if let to rot, will not peel on its own.

Why is it not wrong to peel an orange, if it has more resistance?

What a natural twist, or rather, one that was nurtured.

Full time college student, my major is engineering because I love to build things. I love to write because stories can build worlds and galaxies far beyond what an engineer could build.
