The seed that was ever so small and tough Nothing could ever break its shell or make it go bust It’s been planted in soil that was supposed to be fertile But was never told it was poisoned It grew and grew Losing its protective layer along the way Becoming more fragile every day Losing a piece of something that was supposed to stay She's a flower they say And now it's become fully grown The color of the beauty of petals so long The stem sway in the tiniest bit of wind The fragrance that keeps you coming for more It's delicate You can destroy with one soft touch She's a flower they say They saw potential and it scared them They tore off her petals And now she hides in the shell Nowhere to be found insight But she rebuilding herself but they thought she died that night She broke out her shell with pride and a smile so bright When they woke up they were startled by the sight She's a flower that won't back down without a fight
