First Place Poetry
Why is it that I'm only useful
When you're in hot water?
Like I am your healer
When you get a head cold.
Originally, I unfolded my petals
To please the eye-
Not your insides.
Plucked because I was chamomile
or red raspberry.
Maybe if I was daisy
You would have left me alone.
All I wanted to do was grow.
Not float in some small square,
A cup.
Just my luck,
I had to be a flavor you liked.
