Timeless Flowers and Time Less Flowers
By T.A. Nava
Plastic flowers are worthless.
Plastic flowers are worth less because they live forever.
Plastic flowers are worth less because you will not have to suffer the ache of parting with them.
They will be there even after you've grown tired of its color.
They will be there even after you've grown tired.
The years will pass and soon they will become meaningless,
Meaningless enough to be found in the trash.
Real flowers are expensive.
Real flowers are expensive because they take a lot of time.
Real flowers are expensive because of the hands that prepped and checked and grew and packaged and pictured and painted it.
Real flowers will wilt and dry and die.
A real flower's colors will change in a matter of days
And its appeal will have been gone by the time the glass vase no longer has any water.
It doesn't matter whether the flower is plastic or genuine. We will get tired of it all the same.
Although one of them dies prettier than the other.
Perhaps that's why we choose the ones with its life on a timer?
I am a 14 year old from the Philippines. My inspiration for writing is usually spontaneous, there are times I don't write for weeks and weeks where I only write and nothing else. I like all kinds of music but mainly rock or indie rock. My favorite bands are Queen, The Foo Fighters, and The Smiths.
