they fall one by one off of the roses across the world
each petal stands for sanity
each petal stands for strength
each petal stands for emotion
everyone, everywhere,
loses their petals
some lose more than others
some lose them all
some keep growing new ones with hope of always having at least one petal upon them
And some,
Have no strength to grow even a sprout of a new rose
For they have lost all hope
For they have lost all of their rose petals
