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

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
