"i don't like being the green apple among the red ones, but deep down i know that we all feel like the green one. . ."

I read this amazing quote on a Youtube comment for an equally amazing song and artist (Creep [cover] by Ingrid Michaelson). It is an original thought by a soul just like you and me, not famous and feeling unappreciated, and I think I love the quote all the more for that. (Although I think I also like it because I like green apples).

Anyone can relate to this, and I just feel inspired by it. I wanted to write a poem for a contest, but, like everything else I create, I have criticized all my poems because I don't think they are good enough to submit and I hadn't been inspired to write one off the top of my head as usual. But now, with this saying in mind, I shall attempt to write a poem worthy of going on my mom's fridge.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being a green apple, but I have to admit, growing up, I saw a red apple more often than green, and I've seen some people who were like red apples. The quote isn't saying that any apples are bad or rotten, but that some were just less appreciated. Everyone has good in them, and everyone is loved, but not everyone receives the same attention. I would be proud to be a green apple: bright, juicy, different, and loved by my own group.
