I wrote this for my English class when i was 14. It's sad, but makes you think twice!

Everyday i climb higher towards the sun
and spread my petals wide
And people stop to admire my bright colours
and breathe my sweet scent of life

Then they cut me down
or tear me from the ground
And confine me to a pot or vase
and feed me water from a can

Or they pick my head from my stem
and tear my petals from my heart
Or they lay me in a press
and suffocate me for weeks on end

If only people could understand
that i would much prefer
to be left untouched
and continue to soak up the morning sun
without the fear of being loved
and killed for my elaborate beauty.

Beautiful poem Nae and yes it did make me think

Qoute:
"If only people could understand
that i would much prefer
to be left untouched
and continue to soak up the morning sun
without the fear of being loved
and killed for my elaborate beauty"

Why do we always try to possess what's beautiful instead of letting it live and just be? Poor flowers

Yes!! That was sooo lovely! It was so air sign in quality... very Aquarian, definately resonated with me!

Can't believe you wrote that at 14!! Great work, I hope you're still writing!
