She's but a Paper Flower

By Chelsey Elaine

                       
                        ðŸŒ¹

Beautiful as ever on the surface,
not unlike a small Paper Flower.
So fragile inside, she’s without purpose.
Losing petals like sanity by the hour.

    I enjoyed the metaphor here. I also like the irony of paper versus flower. :)

    Dig. This teases more interest, I'd very much like to see further works; possibly extended works. Keep it up, good stuff.
