The Sunflower

by Hanshika Mandal aged 12

Alone was the flower
among the pretty others,
her hideousness, or so she thought,
stood out.
Her beauty from within
was only a dim light
She needed to know how to shine bright,
She wasn’t hideous at all.
Yet the others teased her and made her feel small,
this is what makes people insecure.
One day everyone will bloom
like a beautiful sunflower.
