    Hello community, I came across this poem written by 16 year old Peyton Glenn of Pataskala, OH. I don't know the reason this was written, but I found it very beautiful and touching. He has a gift as a writer and poet, ever since I read this I have been searching for more work from him. Anyways here is the poem, obviously it comes from a lover who has hurt the thing he loves dearly.

    My dearest beautiful flower

    Even in our darkest hour

    Your beauty still shines through

    Radiating to those in view

    A majestic bird in the sky

    You fly on, head held high

    Undiscouraged by hurtful words

    You soar on undeterred

    Like a diamond in disguise

    Your true beauty does belie

    The horrors you went through

    Permanent like a tattoo

    The sight of you, so uplifting

    Your beauty, always shifting

    Like a Flower in full bloom

    You are sweet, like perfume

    Even in this darkest hour

    You are still my dearest flower

    Even after what had ensued

    You are beautiful, this much is true

    ~ Peyton Glenn

    That's quite an impressive poem for someone so young. I mean the language is simple, but the deeper meaning is very powerful.
