Wallflower

Never have I spoken

A word out of place

I am the graceful wallflower

Over your fireplace

I watch the embers

Cracklin' about

Their burning touch

Is what I am afraid of

I am afraid to be noticed

Never seen, nor heard

I fear one day I will

Be painted over though

Maybe I am insane

With these emotions bubbling out

Maybe I need a clinic

Or to fully wilt down

"It will make you better

You don't have to be upset"

But I would rather not be empty

Every pill makes me fall

Without a net

So I am mentally unstable

I really could careless

Because now that I see the darkness

I am ready to fight

This battle and the next

I am ready to prevail

I needed empowerment

Thank God I found it
