A green bud turned to red..

“Want to grow” , it said.

Drops of rain it drank..

flourishing to get a higher rank.

Giving the world a mesmerizing scent.

without charging a penny or cent.

Waving its leaves and petals..

hurrying its life cycle’s pedals.

.

.

Oh! little rose..

you’re going to decompose.

Like you i’ m about..

to leave my teenage out.

All those years of learning..

how to be forgiving.

Wanted to spread happiness..

like you I have gained mellowness.

Though beautiful the years had been.

but afraid of leaving my teen.

.

.

Just want to restart..

to make, from me, fear apart.

To fix every single mistake..

to make myself calm like a lake.

To make things plain which had been rough..

to make myself comfortable enough.

Why with life i’m so inconvenient..

towards myself wanna be lenient.

Oh time move slow ..

you make me feel low.

.

.

Hearing me the rose said:

Oh! girl have not you read?

If you keep looking backward..

won’t be able to walk forward.

Hopeful you must stay..

awaits for you a shinny ray.

Don’t be so dead ..

a beautiful world lies ahead.
