Beautiful Flower



We are all flowers.
Seeds that grow and bloom, showing beautiful colors.
Nothingness turned into greatness.
Unlike a flower, we choose our colors.
Roses are red, violets are blue, but you?
You are you.
So be you and be a flower, because the best flowers give beauty, happiness, and love.
And when we give those things, others can bloom with more vibrant colors.
But when one’s colors fade, we cannot dwell on what was lost.
Rather, we must reminisce on the colors that were shown,
The beauty, happiness, and love that our flower gave us.
