Wallflower
If I were just a plain wallflower
I probably wouldn’t bloom
I’d sit on a shelf somewhere
Gathering dust in your room
You’d walk by me without a thought
Not even a glance my way
You probably wouldn’t think of me
Not like I do of you everyday
Seems I’m always the one hearing
But I’m never the one who’s heard
Maybe wallflowers don’t talk that much
I can never seem to fit in a word
You’d tell me of all your endeavors
And I’d listen so tentatively
But when thoughts of me arise
To you, I am only what you see
A wallflower left all too forgotten
Though I never had a chance to say
But if walls could talk, they’d never stop
It can be said we are luckier this way
But if you happen to take me down
From the wall upon which I reside
And ponder over my petals, my leaves
Will you finally keep me by your side?

Oh lordy...if you had seen all the poems I deleted...you're speaking my native tongue here. Or what used to be, at any rate. Girl in the corner, that was me. Still a few poems up on me & invisibility. You know what's funny though? We go unheard for so long & then all of a sudden someone hears. And it's profound when it happens. Keep talking in your way, you're heard, trust me

I do believe I’m getting there😇 I’m glad it spoke to you, Willow. I’m always happy to see a poem hit it’s mark with someone. Thank you for the read and kind words❤️
