Garden

by ha1ey

You are a majestic flower But I am a beautiful weed Not many can see the real difference But it's obvious to me Tall rose, you, masked by your stunning looks Deceiver of the perceptive wise You're the epitome of elegance But it is you who shrivels up and dies Now to the dandelion, horrid as can be I sneak in on tiptoe feet, knowing I don't belong Yet I persistently burrow my roots in your rich soil And I struggle as I grow to be strong But the children run in the garden now And you are soon passed by As I am used to make a wish come true And the children can see past your lies
