"i ain't nobody's hot house flower". Love the way you rock the attitude in this ... very cool.
Reminded me of a quote from Margaret Trudeau (wife of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau during the 70's and now, mother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) when she said: "I want to be more than a rose in my husband's lapel."
The anger, in this piece, is spot-on. No real woman is happy in a relationship where she feels expectations and pressure to hide her intelligence and abilities behind a painted mask.
if the poem fits say it and it does fit the two pics. i like the second photo do not like the first.. and i am NOT roses girl, and wish i looked like the second one
I ain't nobody's hothouse flower either! Wonderfully crafted words!

you picked the wrong girl
to place roses in my hair
and paint my face for you
i pretended for awhile
but you soon knew
you couldn't call me sweet rose
i left you laying in petals and thorns
with my true face showing
i ain't nobody's hot house flower
