Field of Roses🥀
July 1, 2018
I loved you
But I was a daisy
In a field of roses.
You wanted the prettier
Girls
That once you tried to
Pick one for yourself,
Pricked your heart
With their hidden thorns.
You never even thought
About falling for the flower
That couldn't prick you because
I'm too purely in love
With you to do that
Because in your eyes
I wasn't as extraordinary
As the beautiful roses
That all used their exterior beauty
To carry out the same evil plan.

This poem describes how in school, the popular girls are the beautiful roses that, in my experience, always have a two-faced side that they use to stab others in the back. Their outter beauty draws people in, making it easy to turn on anybody else. The daisy represents the different girls who are, according to many people's standards, not as pretty. They, though, are the girls that you don't come across very often. The ones who will stay near you and be there for you when you need them. But no one sees that. Though they should.
