Painted roses
In Alice in Wonderland. three cards are painting white roses red. The queen only likes the red roses, all the other roses are disgusting and shouldn't be seen. So the white roses have to pretend they're red, painted to look like every other rose even if they're not like that underneath the paint.
I'm not a red rose, nor am I white. I'm painted, not mentioning questionable opinions because it might make some of the paint fall off. Keeping to the subjects I agree with the red roses on. I can't let the red roses see I'm actually white.
I like the white roses. You're one of them, pure as snow, different. Even so, paint splatter onto you from the other roses from time to time, especially from me. It's terrible. I can't let you know I still am the white rose I once was beneath the colours and pretense, I'm afraid removing the paint might ruin my petals, that they won't be white anymore either, and then what will I be apart from broken? So instead I spill some of my paint onto you, not on purpose but that doesn't change the fact.
What if I could become a white rose again, but the prize was making you a red one? Would that be a prize worth paying? No. You're a way more beautiful white rose than I'll ever be, and less insecure about it.

Queen's garden
Little Alice
Painting roses,
White to red
To save a friend.
What about the roses, Alice?
Petals stiff and fake and bent.
Cannot move,
Can't even dance,
Trapped inside
A blood red lie.
Only way to turn yourself back,
Is to let another die.
