Wallflower

Pretty little wallflower

Who sits all alone

No one seems to notice you

Or even care for that matter

You who sits by the punch-bowl table

Who quietly observes others as the walk by

Who listens to others as they converse

Not that you mean to listen

They just don%u2019t realize you%u2019re there

Sighing little wallflower

Who is starting to regret coming

Why are you even here?

Because your parents made you?

Because your friends convinced you?

Then ditched you as soon as you arrived?

Because you had nothing better to do?

Lonely little wallflower

Who wishes to have fun too

Well, why aren%u2019t you?

Because you%u2019re too shy

Because you%u2019re afraid what others will think

Because socializing is beneath you

Silly little wallflower

Who gathers up her courage

It%u2019s about time you stop being a wallflower

And start being that other flower

That you were truly meant to be

Another poem I wrote on a whim. Not my best but though others would enjoy it.

Cyril Says:

Enjoyable to be sure. As far as poetry goes, I am not one to complain from the emotion presented here. The imagery is a tad lacking (I mean like really horrendously potent imagery) but you make up for it in how nicely put together it is and the repetition.

Also kudos on making it very identifiable. I too, am a wall flower.
