Fly On the Wall

Unlike the social butterfly
 I am rarely even seen.
For I'm much more tamed
 Than the rowdy teen.

Comfortably I sit and watch
 All the commotion unfold.
Listening to all the drama
 And stories that are told.

Although in the crowd
 I might feel a bit small...
No way do I mind being
 The fly on the wall.

Hey Mark, I love your poem! I sent you a message on here asking if I could use it in a short horror story I'm writing. Of course I'll credit you as the poet who wrote it. I'm hoping to hear from you! Best, - Shawn
