53Petals of Life
(by Charmeen Hannan)
It is a flower with many petals
Or a few.
Every single petal
Is full of emotions
Whether it is excruciatingly painful
Or filled with happiness and love
It could be the first
It could be the last
The white rose's brown dull spots
Are the painful memories
Heartbreaks
Joyful memories
One by one the petals fall
It could have been a rose with many
Or one with a few
Some are clear and beautiful
Some are concealed in browns spots
Some have many
Some only have a few
Whatever the number though
The rose will one day wither forever
