for the person I came to be
or am I just invisible
the wallflower that no one sees
does my inner light catch their eyes
is my aura a grand prize
I try to entice them with charms
but they never fall for my lines
I’m a shadow in the moonlight
out of their minds, out of sight
I will linger here in the dark
until this lonely soul takes flight
To be wallflower that no one sees is sad. I feel for that lonely soul in the dark.
ReplyDeleteit hurts to read this. i feel so sorry for the person in the poem
ReplyDeleteNice sound. I like the description of one's aura being a prize to others and the enticement with charms and lines and then the waiting that remains at the end.
ReplyDeleteThis is deeply moving.
ReplyDeleteIt is heartbreakingly lonely to be the ‘wallflower that no one sees’.
ReplyDeleteSome of the most interesting people are "wall flowers", a word I can relate to in my childhood/teenage years. Actually, I still am the person most silent in a group of new acquaintances. Yes..."a shadow in the moonlight". You've conveyed the feeling well.
ReplyDeleteThe word wall flower contains so much... not just being left out but also the humiliation... but then still a flower...
ReplyDeleteyour last stanza made me sigh, wanting to be seen for who you really are, love the shadow on the moonlight, only the pure and kind can see that beautiful illumnation
