The Snake Underneath

They thought they could crush her;
like a pretty little flower,
But she is much more than that; 
she holds extra ordinary power. 
They thought they could crush her; 
like a daisy in their hand,
But there is something in her; 
that they do not understand.
She is a wild flower;
the wildest in the bloom,
Power radiates off her; 
as she enters the room.
She makes people at her feet; 
with just a single stare,
A hint of mischief;  
in that emotionless, deadly glare.
She manipulates those around her; 
all once in a while, 
That evil smirk disguised; 
as a honey-coated smile. 
It took so long to identify; 
what she was hiding beneath, 
My Love, She was never the flower; 
But the snake underneath.
