Like a wilting flower...

[Taliana]

Like a wilting flower
she shrinks to the background

Just a part of the scenery
she is insignificant by nature

No amount of glitter
can hide the emptiness inside
as the shallow cave where her eyes rest
dribbles tears through her worn out tear ducts

This wilting flower
will never bloom.

Everyone is almost a 'wallflower' at one point or another, when no one seem to notice them at all. Are we insignificant? Only sometimes in our own heads. Even then a wilting flower still has a second chance, and i hope someone will make it bloom again.

It's a bit sad, how I felt back then but still simply and nicely put.

hmm

It's funny, but I've seen this exact depiction in people themselves. Very well stated!

Thanx im sure many people have had these feelings before, or could relate to this piece. but this is how ive pretty much felt my whole life, second best, always in the background, only noticed when alone, not in groups. meh.its funny, half this piece is about me, halfs about a friend of mine, and when writing it, i also know another person (who actually posts here) who i thought was the person being depicted aswell...

all so familiar...

I love the way you've put this... at first it seems like a contradiction... But then I realised the point you were emphasising by the contradiction...

Well done, keep writing
