A fragile flower

let me be fragile

oh let me be a flower;
let me be delicate and full of color
i shall be a flower

i will have the petals of life

and to guard this fragility

i will have rigid, cut throat edges

that will help me survive life

  10. Nice poem. Fragile and cut-throat, these two words depicts how life shapes us. And you have used them perfectly in your poem. Our serenity is always challenged by the events that eventually make us a bit harsh. That is necessary to survive. It is not always that we have to take guard behind our own feelings, though it is necessary to keep that fragility secure because it somehow represents who we truly are. This is what I think about the life and what I felt like sharing after reading your poem.

    Keep writing 🙂

      1. You are welcome.
        Yes, that is true. It is what we learn and how we think makes us different from others, and even different from who we were before. Eventually, we have to live with ourselves and as we evolve we find a lot about ourselves.
