Something strange living in me

I see you picking the most beautiful flower from the garden of Eden,

Storing it in jar of glittering gold,

Watering it with the purest morning dew from the heavenly mountain.

I'm stunned with a blank stare,

"This flower will definitely make them feel tormented" my inner voice said.

You calmly whisper into my ear, saying,

"this one is the prettiest of all, don't you see that?"

My lips move hesitantly,

thinking,

"I do. But I don't think they would feel the same way."

You sigh,

"Well, you and I see its beauty. Nothing else matters."
