Please don’t tear the petals
off my soft, hibiscus heart.
Of all the flowers in the field,
you deserve a better one.
You want a pretty flower,
and I have a thorny stem.
It wasn’t always that way.
I’m just scared to let you in.
It isn't mine or a friend's.
We are no acquaintances.
I borrowed a few traits,
but I always revert to this.
Please don’t tear the petals
from the flower I wish to be.
In every meadow of the world,
I will always be a weed.

Every thing has its place and as a plant it may grow amongst the other plants. A sad write but very identifiable
A sad write around the lack of self worth and belief in themselves, well expressed
