We can’t understand life, because Life was not created to be understood.
like a rose, we will pale
each pedal will eventually feel the same
will we be judged on how long we last
or by our unique scent?
who is to be our judge
on what basis are we convicted
failing to live up to our colors
the colors that define us?
The colors we had no choice in
Or is it the scent?
That we can not change
Strong and beautiful
depending on the judge
but what judge matters?
we are each so different, yet the same
longing for a better life
but created for one purpose
the universal purpose
will you not let me fade
or even shine?
stop judging
take me out of this vase
don’t compare me
i am who i am
i am beautiful.

Hey KB
I love the way you express what is inside you. Keep it flowing and don't hold back. God loves it when we express what He's doing in our hearts. :)
It's a beautiful poem.
