Her ears are calloused,

Her eyes an abandoned teary palace

No longer ruled by the world

A cast around her soul

By herself she healed the holes

Her tiny fingers curled

Around a simple pencil

Her hair in crimson tendrils

She was the strongest seed

Dormant for a long while

Everyone tried to break her smile

She's a rose in a bed of weeds

They never tease her anymore

They dare not touch her sharpened thorns

They tried to hurt her but failed

The nicest ones just glanced

As the little primrose danced

And the cicadas' song wailed

She peacefully writes

Building cities in the night

Photosynthesis in action

She reaches up to the sky

Lets the sun spread to her eyes

She's created her own faction
