Once upon a time 🙄 a couple of months ago, during summer 😎 while making my way up to my room there popped a question: What are burned roses?
At first I myself was boggled by such a random question. 😮 Never did I think I would question myself this.I was lost in thought of how I connected two random words.Yes,I get distracted. 😛
Later on,I tried to answer it 🙂 and the fact is I could not give an answer that could reach the level of satisfaction.I had more than one reply for the question I was asked.
The following are the ways I answered the question.
Please note this isn’t supposed to be related to my previous post 🌹 جلا ہوا گلاب تھا وہ. However I would like to tell you that after I had answered this question another question came up and I answered it in a poetic-ish way. 😀 I will be sharing that also.Here it is!
Oh and if you have any answers for the question do tell.Plus,let me know which one you liked.
What are burned roses?
They resemble beautiful people who were hit by the cruelty of this world without, the opportunity of grabbing onto hope.
What are burned roses?
They are people whose thoughts are unfathomable, they fake smile often. Deep down their heart roars as the thunder and sadness strikes them like lightning. In the darkness of the night when all creatures are asleep that’s when they, to themselves weep.
What are burned roses?
They are like people who were previously known as optimist but time drained all the hope out of them.
What are burned roses?
They were innocent homo sapiens (like you and I) but were killed for reasons beyond anyone’s comprehension.
What are burned roses?
They are people who fall into deep hole of misery because their creativity was titles ‘rubbish’ and their thoughts labelled ‘lame’.
What are burned roses?
They are those people who called death to their door steps, because of the fact that they believed that they weren’t strong enough to win the battles .
Hey stop explaining my kind to people :p

What are burned roses?
The flowers that bloom from rose shrubs and wilt and die because of poor conditions, such as excessive supply of UV rays, nil watering by the caretaker and non-fertilized bad soil.
Hahah. Acha here is the metaphorical answer.
What are burned roses?
People who bloom, well not exactly bloom, but they are all sweet and kind and yeah you get my point, right. So. They are so amazing that.. some other circumstances or people become either three of the above mentioned scientific reasons and booyah. They die. They wilt and go all black and crumble and… tada.. Dead.
Metaphorically saying. Yes. Dead. How? Dead at heart. Dead with smiles. Dead with expressions. Dead with words. Everyone knows their vampire face. Nobody knows who they actually were. And nobody realizes that it was their crap that turned them into a person they never were. But oh well.. trashy people with peoplish attitudes peopling all the way. Sigh.
What am I saying? Guess I am writing a stream of consciousness. So never mind.
Point being. Burned roses are still roses. If you smell closely, they still are fragrant, slightly. (Referring to all those galay kay haar that us South Asians use at weddings and occasions and keep them even when they are of no use.) They are not all that bad. They need care. They just need care.
But.
Even after that if they don’t bloom again, gift them a coffin and.. haha. Not completing that sentence. Don’t wanna sound evil.
Oh well.. The thing is. People, stop burning yourself because of the shit of other people. You don’t belong to them. You don’t owe them anything. You are you. Be you. Hold onto hope. That hope is you. Find that spark and light your darkness. Kay? Tc.
Peace.
Sorry not sorry for a long comment, Inky.

Yes, roses are roses! If only the world could take the time to care.By the way there is a next part for this which talk about if burned roses can fly. 🙂
Coffin haha XD But you know some build a coffin themselves. 😦

I’ve thought about this a bit, but for some reason I have zero amount of motivation to talk about it. idk why
So just take this as me mumbling all of this to you. And dragging my speech as I speak. 😐
Well I figure that roses are…fragrant… and beautiful… So I suppose that’s why people pluck ’em out and rob them of a proper life. Then they die a slow death after being abused that way… The thing about beautiful things is that they are meant to be left alone. You mess around too much with them and they lose their light.
And people are like that too. I won’t say people are like any other flower, might as well be tulips (since they’re my favourite) but actually, there’s something quite fascinating about roses. The sole reason I like roses is that they have thorns…
Look the thing about people is that they always and I repeat ALWAYS have the ability to defend themselves. That’s what the thorns are for. People think that the thorns are something cruel that make others bleed… Well, on the contrary I think that the only person they make bleed is the person that hadn’t meant well… No well meaning person would have any purpose touching the stem. Good people will just admire the rose in it’s natural environment and take in its fragrance. The thorns only harm the person that deserves to be harmed for having tried to steal the rose of its life…
And people are like that too. They have the ability to defend themselves. It’s a different case that they don’t.
People are cruel to you and you take it. They touch you in all the wrong places and you take it. They put you in the worst environments and you take it… You only deserved to burn if you never told people of your rightful place. If you thought yourself that worthless and unimportant by not defending yourself, then you only deserved it. If you’re not important enough to be defended by yourself, then you’re also not important enough to remain unburnt.
So the roses that burnt were responsible for it themselves.
Frankly, I never liked roses except for the thorns, so I don’t like calling myself that, but I guess I am that… A burnt one at that…
I was foolish at one point and didn’t defend myself when I should have. And it ended in a horrible depression that left me feeling dead and empty and lost forever.
But I guess I’ve learnt from my mistakes. It took me a while to realise that I was the root cause of all the pain in my life. So now I’ve risen from the ashes more beautiful and with yet more sharper thorns. People who love me and admire me are welcome to be near me and take in the fragrance. But people who mean to harm me will bleed at the very first touch at the wrong place.
But again, it’s only beautiful things that people like to ruin…

Hey I like long comments.
I think ALWAYS is a big word.People are not all the times in the situation of defending themselves.
Oh yes thorns I didn’t think about that.Nice POINT. XD
Sometimes even rose with thorns are not capable of defending themselves with their thorn because of what people have said to them,their roses weaken and soften and people take more advantage of that.I know it sounds umm weird…
People think that the thorns are something cruel that make others bleed… Well, on the contrary I think that the only person they make bleed is the person that hadn’t meant well

So true rose is a rose and even burned roses are beautiful in a unique way. (:
Risen from the ashes *o* Yus!
I hope all of us can grow sharper thorns.
Thank you for sharing that quote.
