Underneath it all,
She was just a girl.
Underneath it all,
She really didn't deserve this.
She was just f-o-l-l-o-w-i-n-g orders
What the noble, pureblood Greengrass family
Expected her to be.
Daphne didn't ask for the extremeties,
The disclusion, the cold-blooded hate.
She just wanted to listen,
To please her family.
Why was that so hard?
Why was acceptance so hard?
She couldn't be pure-blood perfection,
Not like Astoria. Never like Astoria.
If she was trying so hard to listen,
Why did everything go wrong?
Underneath it all,
She was just trying to make her family happy.
For the Seven Days of Freeverse Challenge, using the character of Daphne Greengrass and the prompt 'underneath it all'. I don't even know with this one... And the spacing got all screwed up, ffn is being stupid again..
