kindness is rare,
but everyone deserves it.
to be loved is what everyone wants,
to love is what everyone can’t.
we adore the petals of roses so much,
that we never want them to shed.
neither do we care to share.
and in the thirst of being treated softly,
we forget to serve others with softness.
thorns pinch us,
so we prefer to let them go,
even though we know
they’re going to hurt someone else.
sometimes we damage others,
to heal ourselves.
but honey, you don’t get to keep
the petals of happiness for too long,
if all you give to others are the thorns.
what are roses without thorns?
– incomplete.
what is the food without some salt?
– tasteless.
what is life without problems?
– meaningless.
