STANDING ALONE

Vibrant pink berries,

amongst a sea of red and orange

foliage,

standing naked before the

crowd,

feeling the discrimination,

of the mass

majority,

and the weight of their

judgement,

as red and orange

foliage

entrench their insecurities and

inhibitions,

on vibrant pink

berries,

standing alone,

pink berries

are

more vibrant than

ever,

refusing to be

less,

to conform to the

needs of

the

mass majority.
