Today I picked up a flower... so beautiful but yet so frailed.

it's petals so delicate that with a simple touch they begin to fall.

I watch as the petals sway from left to right...the wind blowing softly... the petals gradually dropping to my feet,

Such sadness overcomes me as I stand there... asking myself the why's and how's.

I feel the tears welling up in my eyes...rolling down my face,, hitting the ground where the petals landed...

Drop.. Drop..Drop.. they fall with such great force.. you can hear the thump as they hit.. smacked with hatred.

My vision blurred..blinded by all... so blind I don't take notice of life's true meaning.

I think to myself.. What lead a thing of beauty turn into such destruction? Turning it into something so unbearable to look at.

As I stand there wiping the tears away I realized that the answer is us... we are our own demons who allows the unknown.

Ladies we have all been through a lot some of us more than others. We tend to though allow the situation at hand to control us and make us into individuals who we are not. We overlook the simple things in life, the things that have true meanings. We have a tendency to find happiness in superficial things instead of with-in ourselves. Take some time out and ask yourself questions about your meaning in life. Ask yourself if what you have in front of you is truly what you want. Don't settle for less because you feel you have no worth, nor don't jip yourself luxury because to you its out of the norm. We must embrace all no matter if its ugly or beautiful. Today make a change in your life, a change that you would look back to and say.. with that change I nourished my life to blossom instead of frailing apart.
