Unpicked Flower

How would an unpicked flower feel?
You have grown up alongside your friends,
With no particular differences.
Some may grow quicker,
Some may be greener.
Until at one point, everyone blossoms.
They wave proudly in the wind.
Bees visit the groups, no prejudices , just accepting what each has to offer.
Then one day a judgement is made, who is pretty, who is colourful, who has a perfect shape.
Those lucky few are taken away and stored in pride of place.
Those left behind, no-one will know.
Rejection.
Loss.
Despair.

But they continue to grow.....

Unfinished Business

A bunch of unfinished stuff. Love & hope: Love is temporary. Hope is eternal. Little fair girl: Little fair girl, with your bucket so pink. Why do you want to pour your heart into the sink.

Words And Paper

This ink as dark as night, This paper as light as day. Although these words are dark, Their colour means no decay. The paper on the other hand... Spreads the lies as quick as fire.

Choices

Are we really free. The choices in life that are made for us which might not be right for us. As baby's we have no choice to what we do, unlike now where we not have to o to school.
