Wallflower

by beauty from ashes   Feb 14, 2013


There in the corner, where no one notices
Is someone dying for acceptance
People Pleaser, Apathetic, Follower
She's known by many names

This wallflower just wants to have a moment
Where she is in the bouquet in the middle of the room
Not for her own glory, but a chance to be with everyone else

No one keeps her there but herself
Her fear of their opinions and the fear that
One day she might hurt one of them
Glues her to that wall

It's a one-way relationship.
They are her best friends from afar
Oh, they don't know, but one day they will
They might realize if they look hard enough
...If they remember her after she's gone.

    Woah, a very beautifull but sad piece.

    I can relate this poem so much because i used to be exactly the same, i felt that this came from me.

    I like the use of imagery and metaphors, really felt like i was in the situatuion myself again.

    "This wallflower just wants to have a moment

    Was my fav stanza and hit me the hardest, everyone just wants that moment if they never get it.

    Remember.. be confident and you can do it all!

    Overall a very good emmotional piece.
    Keep it up, you are a good writer!

    5/5 from me =)

    This gives me a really deep insight into the reason behing a state of being shy, and having once been shy I often wonder about other introverts

    This is so deep and inspiring poem!! I wished the poem not ending, maybe because of the variety of possible relationships between people and wallflowers for many circumstances. This piece is targetting and insightful. It can be a good invitation for people to respect the nature, especially the flowers as symbols for peace, love, blossoming, spring, etc. I encourage you to write more about such loveable topics which can bring excellent feedback and impact. You are brilliant.
