The Average Flower

A flower compared to lust

Lust is like a flower,

Ready to bloom and spread its fragrance,

Petals full of beauty,

And a stem stronger than a heart

The more beauty this flowers intakes the more petals

The life around it awards it like a medal

But the flower goes nowhere so it settles

When it settles it finds meaning,

It doesn't need to keep seeking,

For it leads others over its way,

With its beauty on display,

The flower loses love day after day

It starts to lose color and becomes black gray

No matter how bad it got the flower still stayed

As the wind blew the flower swayed,

It started to lose its petals and beauty,

That which was once on display was not hidden,

Left to rot,

It looked sicken,

But that's how nature makes it,

So much for settling down,

The flower is now settled under the ground

Under the ground and through soil

The flower is still awaken through the oil

Why suffer underground when you can be free on top

Why settle down when you cannot stop

Why give up on life and just lay there and rot

Keep pushing through this and don't you stop

As the flower found inspiration,

It leads itself to salvation,

It finally realized reality,

It came to accept mentality,

It stayed patient,

And stopped waiting,

It rose up again,

And regained its domain

The flower gained back its beauty and heart

It has the mind of a genius and has the beauty mark

As it gains and rises from where it start

It captures the sunlight and spreads the love through the park

This flower is now a testimony that the world is designed for us to push through the struggles we face,

It's a sign of beauty

A symbol of grace

It's strength runs strongly throughout those around it,

Look at the beauty it now emits

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
