People are flowers

Some thrive in the light 

Others in the dark 

Some like other flowers

Others do not

All have the same needs

Good soil

Sunlight

Water

Yet different at the same time

All pretty on the 

outside


But if you look closely 

It will show

Thorns along the stem 

Sharp, and ready to cut

Scars within the petals 

Withering leaves 

Or several

torn off 

Most are beautiful and thriving

then picked and thrown on the 

ground
