#SaraReads: Poem- FOUR ROSES

Why do we respect the dead more than the living?
Why do we find more joy in taking, than giving?
What is the meaning of true love?
Stereotyping people, among other forbidden thoughts
Parents not wanting to let go of their children.

Love is overrated, boring sometimes.
Putting all your love, care and devotion into one single soul
For the rest of your life.

Good times are like pretty purple petals,
You feel like a winner, wearing golden medals
But then dark times come along,
And this is the circle of life- good and bad times, on and on.

Sometimes your mind is a battle ground
Of good thoughts and bad
When the good thoughts win you are crowned,
And if not, you feel thrown to the ground.
