don't pick flowers, no matter how pretty they look
when you do that, you pluck it from its life force in the prime of its fragrant youth
after that, it doesn't matter how much love and nurture and attention you give it
the petals always wither, shrink, and die,
leaving something that could perhaps be pretty still,
in some saddening, distorted way.
the picked blossom will never mature to bear sweet fruit,
swollen and ripe and oh-so-satisfying
no, it will only pass out of its delicate perfection,
to be discarded when it is no longer pretty.
trust me, i would know.
i was one of the prettiest flowers
before you came along and picked me.
