Human Rose

A human being is similar to a rose.
It lives.
It develops.
It wilts away from this Earth.
It endures difficult changes.
It stands, planted, while the chaos rains down around it.
Somewhere down the road it develops from a small innocent bud, beautiful, awe-inspiring, symbolic.
It is one.
It is simple and shy, yet powerful and brave.
It is us, and we are it.
We, like a rose, embody elegance and fragility.
Unsure of what life is plotting and what curve balls it will throw our way, but we expect the unexpected and continue fighting.
We take the bullet instead of cowering in a corner.
Yes, we make mistakes, and our own self motives may blind us, but we are human, and making mistakes is how we become beautifully inspiring and magnificantly powerful.
