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?

Around me,
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.
