The story of a flower

June 6, 2021
By Anonymous

She is a flower,
She is beautiful,
But she isn't perfect.

You like her,
You pluck her,
And you kill her.

You miss her,
You plant another.
She grows again,
And you pluck her again.

She makes you happy,
But you don't see her pain.

This cycle goes on,
And she dies a hundred times.
But she will make you happy yet another time.

I'm not a writer. I don't know if I'm good at writing or not but I this peom, it just came in my mind so I wrote it. The flower, is in comparison with a girl and "you" is anymore who plays with her or her emotions. How "she" does everything she can to make "you" happy but "you" don't see her pain. I hope you like the theme.
