Serpent

they thought she was delicate.

like a pretty, little flower

but she was so much more than that.

she holds extraordinary power.

they thought they could crush her.

like a daisy in their hands

yet there is something about her.

that they do not understand

she is a wildflower.

the type you cannot tame.

the girl who brings the sun

and the girl who brought the rain

there is venom in her blood.

and danger in her eyes

but she hides her power well.

you couldn't find it even if you tried.

they did not believe her.

because they thought she was weak

but she is not the flower.

she was the snake underneath.
