Love Poem: The Rose

The Rose

by Being True

Like a seed I am trying to

grow into the flower that

can show y outer and inner me

I am the stem. I am the petal.

I am the Rose.

My outer beauty stuns those in my presence

regardless of the

colors that I may be showing.

through my existence, independently,

I realize that it's hard in this life

but it's worth staying around for

and when I serve my purpose

my petals break down. One by one until

the only thing left is the stem that kept me up with care.

I'm sad to leave but

When I see the smile of the

recipient of my presence I am

filled with pride.
