Wallflower Lamentation

I am a wallflower, Tall yet not. And despite my lush colors, I’m stuck in one spot. I see everything, From arguments and friends. I can even see How the television ends. I often wonder, Why am I? To be stuck on a wall For them and not I. Why am I here? Wilting and withering away. Shouldn’t it be better, If I didn’t stay? I am a wallflower, I’m stuck in one spot, Yet despite my lush colors, I wish I was not.
