Rotten Fruit

I only eat ripe fruit 

juicy to perfection, not too hard or soft, just the way it's supposed to be,

always eating around the bruises, throwing it away when it’s too mushy.

who would ever want rotten fruit?

my friend will eat fruit in any form, 

overly ripe, bruised, mushy, hard, the looked-over leftovers at the grocery store.

she eats the fruit as it is

she loves it so anyways 

knowing her I slowly stopped eating around the bruises

knowing her I’m learning to eat the fruit as is and love it for it 

knowing her I'm willing to understand people still love rotten fruit
