Pulling Petals

This is just a short poem I wrote. While I do love writing lovey dovey poems (especially since I'm a huge romantic), I figured some people would appreciate this :) I thought it was kind of funny personally to think of the flower's point of view!

I’m so sick of this love crap!

I’m past the point of no return, I’m gunna snap!

Day in and day out, you tear the petals apart,

Flowers brutally murdered due to matters of the heart!

You think it’s easy to be a flower?

Flower power yeah right! Flowers have no physical power.

Do you know how many times I have sat and watched

My friends and family petals ripped off and they get debauched?

How can you do such a thing? Our petals make us desirable

Much more than any jewelry or bauble.

Our petals attract insects with much needed pollen

So forgive me if I seem rude and sullen.

Without our petals we die, I’m not being melodramatic!

Nothing can bring us back. Not water, not sun. Don’t you dare try the Heimlich!

Everyone knows we have to photosynthesize to survive

But without our beautiful petals, we just shrivel and our life takes a nosedive.

Death is the only answer, for we were uprooted from the ground

All so that love could abound.

Bullying & To This Day

This video should be seen be all. I first saw this video when a friend on Facebook shared it from a page named Andy Biersack. Don't know who they are but I liked this video.

The saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" has always bugged me. Because I would rather break a bone than have to deal with the names people can call others. Or to see people be told they aren't good enough, whether it be in a classroom or during a sport. A broken bone can heal physically faster than any emotional pain that comes from being told that you are ugly or you aren't worth it and even worse, you begin to believe those people.

True beauty isn't skin deep. Even beautiful gems like diamonds must be put through tons of pressure.

To experience this and to watch other people go through this, it's so hard not to get angry. The pain of those feelings smoldering into anger, needs to be replaced by something only the great I AM can give us. Forgiveness.

Like the video says, there's a reason we are still here. And we deserve to be happy because there are people who truly care about us. And I want you to know that no matter what you are going through, no matter what people say about you or the names they call you, you are beautiful.
