Silly Hypotheticals
“Would you rather be an apple or an orange?”
An orange:
To be chipped at,
Peeled away piece by piece
To be ripped open,
Every fragment that makes up your whole
Raw and exposed,
Residual strands deliberately stripped away,
And to still be loved,
Not in spite of the labor,
But because of it.
“An apple because oranges have too many strings attached.”
