Crown of Daisies

By: Lauren Hassan

I am but a girl with scars,

Not those that are seen,

The kind buried beneath it all,

I am but a girl with a dream,

Like any other you will see,

I am unique,

But still like any other,

I’ve been thrown,

And hit,

And threatened,

And smacked,

So I have grieved,

And cried myself to sleep,

I am like a crown of daisies,

Near the sky,

And smelling sweet,

But if you tug my petals,

I will fall to pieces.
