Daffodil

I know this girl.Her life is filled with beautiful,pretty things.She has lots of friends and an amazing family.She listens to quirky music and wears quirky clothes.She's funny and kind.From the outside she seems confident and outgoing.From the outside everything looks like it's okay.


She does silly things and goes silly places.These don't matter though 'cos people love her for it.She feels silly for feeling the way she feels.People tell her she's pretty but she doesn't believe it.She blasts her music loudly while walking quickly in an attempt to block thoughts out.She's scared and she doesn't know what to do.She stays up all night thinking.Thinking about the things that are out of her control.She worries uncontrollably about things that are bigger than she could ever imagine.She lets thoughts consume her and take over her life.She runs away from things but she's not good at running.She tends to fall and tire herself out.She loves people unconditionally and values friendships over anything else.She strives to please people and is scared of upsetting them.

She's like the lemon coloured daffodil amongst all the other yellow ones.Often overlooked because she's a bit different.She doesn't fit the stereotypical,perfect form.The others get picked before her and she's left to fight the wind and the rain.She feels like the other flowers that she's trusted have been picked and brought inside.They know everything about her but they're no longer with her.She has to fend for herself.She looks like she's strong by herself but inside she's worrying...torturing herself with thought.Thoughts that won't leave her alone.Thoughts that follow her.Her thoughts are like glitter.They look like a small amount of things but if spilled they separate all over the floor and stick to everything.They stick there,shining.She can't get them off her mind.


She has one thing she wants to say.One issue she wants to resolve.She knows what to do but she's scared to do it.She's letting past experience follow her like a shadow,she's scared to step into the sun.She knows herself so well and this scares her..she's convinced herself she'll never do it.She needs to take a leap but instead she's taking baby steps.


I know this girl and she's the greatest friend you could ask for.She's loving through and through.There's nothing she wants more than your approval.She won't judge you regardless of what you've done.This girl is the lemon daffodil and she stands out from the crowd.She's different 'cos she's genuine and she shouldn't be ashamed of that.She feels the way she feels because she's human and she shouldn't be scared.She's hurt but she shouldn't let it get her down.I want to help her but I don't know how...
