An Isolated Wallflower
Around
me,
Faces
glow with pleasure,
Eyes
shine with excitement,
Hands
caress to treasure,
Hearts melt, forgiving all indictment.
Around
me,
Just as
I see comfort and ease,
And
reach out,
Time
freezes,
And everyone
forgets what it was all about.
Around
me,
Happiness
abounds,
Sadness
is shoved away,
People
make amends,
But what
if I see all this as foul play?
Is it
wrong that all I ever felt was bitterness?
Tears in
form of gifts,
Why do I
not see the greatness?
In
throwing all my passions of the cliff?
Around
me,
Why, do
you want me to evaporate?
When I
don’t even know my mistake,
All
chances for acknowledgment I saw, didn’t wait,
Why show
concern that’s fake?
Around
me,
Darkness
and regrets reside,
A
monster hovering,
Above
me, following my stride,
Hiding
all my suffering.
Around
me,
A dark
hole of abandonment,
Around
me,
A small
hope stays adamant,
But
inside me,
I know,
I’m just a forgotten wallflower.
