She's No Wildflower

There are things you can't do that others can but there are also things you can do that others cannot.

Trying so hard to be someone she’s not

Trying to imitate but cannot…

She can sing her own song, she can write her own poem

Disguised as a daffodil, an unknown wildflower

Some are shutting her down when she is just starting to fly

Falling so low, down below, it hurts her ego

Out of rhyme, out of the world…she came out of the blue

 

But she’s a flower from the mountain’s crest

Brought by the wind to survive a test

A silver not a gold, glittering proud and bold

Without a name, silently bearing the pain

Her color is shining while inside she’s breaking

If only someone would know, She is no wildflower…

Deep in her dreamy heart, is a shelter of peace and love…

Look a little closer, stare a little longer…

Pure, simple and true…

 

A yellow cosmos flower amidst the royal daffodils.

The song attached on one poem of Frieda inspired me... "Wildflower" by Carly Jo Jackson. :)

Amazingly we often camouflage our true self with different outward expression. Sort of like the tears of a clown. We will stand on our head to turn our frown into a smile but the eyes always tell the truth nice work here

This is beautiful simply beautiful should be a song. The words are powerful and full of meaning and lastly it's enticing wanting more of that feeling of being free, misunderstood, and not caring what the world think about it. Amazing two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

[Aprille]

I wouldn't change a thing except maybe what Rene suggests. It has good flow and good rhymes. The first stanza is rough, like explaining pain almost but then the second stanza straightens it out, irons out the wrinkles of that pain. Smooth's over and shines up the silver. Lovely piece.

[Aprille]
