She was beautiful.
Radiant.
Everyone could see it.
It had nothing to do with how she looked.
No, her beauty was in everything she did.
In her kindness,
Her friendship,
Her laughter,
Her love.
She was a bright flower,
Bringing happiness to everyone around her.
But this world is a dark place,
And no light is ever left shining for long.
"Ugly"
"Stupid"
"Fat"
Day by day, her light slowly grew dimmer.
"Annoying"
"Worthless"
"Useless"
Dimmer.
Dimmer.
Her beautiful petals started shriveling up.
She got quieter,
Trying to fade into the background.
Her leaves were slashed,
Her colors bruised.
"A burden"
"No one loves you"
"Just die"
Then one day, her light went out all together.
By the time they realized what they'd done,
All that was left was a mangled daisy,
Trampled into the dirt.
She was so beautiful,
But no more.
Now she's nothing more than
A trampled flower.
