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.
