Daisy Field

A cruel world that I have been brought into 
One full of prejudices and judgmental stares
Of prying eyes that wait in the dark for you to slip up 
And you feel as though stuck in an infinite chasm 
Of your failures and mistakes
Never able to forget your faults and your insecurities
But somewhere in the far corners of this world
In the hidden places and holds just out of reach
A helpful spirit reaches out a hand to pull you up
To help heal your wounds and erase your sorrows
They take you to a special place
A place not unlike any you've ever been before
One of hope and love and acceptance
One that welcomes you wholly for who you are
They take you to a field of daisies 
I've been taken to that field of daisies

Emily, that is a "gem". At first glance, dark and then sparkling with hope and optimism. You took me on a journey from a cave to a sunny meadow. Very moving. Congratulations on your first poem! Take care & write more! Cynthia
