Most people think that a rose is so perfect and unique
They think, it is the prettiest thing alive.
It has beautifull leafs, that feel like silk.
It has a smell that smells so sweet.
But most forget, beauty never lasts.
The leafs turn brown and feel so hard.
The smell will fade, in just a few days.
As you pick it up, to throw it out.
Its thorns will cut you, you’ll feel betrayed.
A smaller flower is not so pretty.
Its leafs don’t feel like silk because they are so small.
Its smell is weak, but yet so sweet.
It has no beauty so it doesn’t fade.
Its leafs are small, but will always feel the same.
Its smell is weak but will always remain.
As you pick it up to replace it for a rose
It has no thorns so it will never betray you.
It just rots away, normal and alone.
