The Mighty Dandelion

' It does not matter how others see you; what makes all the difference is how you see yourself' - by poet To say that I am "flawed" is just an "illusion." I may seem "imperfect," but you only see my "facade." To most, I look "torn" and "broken." To those who look deep enough, they will see a ferocious lion. Some have even called me dandy. I am strong! I am resilient! You called me a nasty weed. Then I dazzled you with my bright smile. I took off the "mask" and pushed myself up through the concrete. I "cracked" the barrier meant to keep me down. You see just a puny weed. I see a strong, beautiful flower. I am Mighty. I am a Dandelion. 06-20-21 Writing prompt- "Flawed" Place 1 Sponsored by: Constance La France "Cracked" contest Sponsor- Anthony Biaanca entry submit
