Best Wallflower Poems

On the edge she sits, a frail nonentity;
neither bloom nor spirit, nor secure identity,
as forlorn and shy she trembles, a man
asks her to dance, she must decline.

Stuck in a bubble, just missing the boat,
floating past maybes, a lump in her throat,
she dawdles and dangles, an...

Barely seconds into something, already hooked.
Why question anything if you know your stuff?
You know best that it’s easy to be overlooked,
Especially when you’re a diamond in the rough.

Undiscovered diamonds are beautiful no less,
Though nobody looks, for it seems a time waste,
It didn’t catch the eye,...

Take this last kiss as a bid goodbye
Dont sit and wonder why oh why
Can I not walk in the trail of your stride
Why my heart is groomed to hide

You are just a child, as am I
So don’t think that we can outlast July
Isn’t it a...

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...

In the rain I stand
pressed against your window glass,
warm and cold the liquid runs
where my tears mingle.
Do you see me here
longing for the warmth,
the embers stirred to flame
lighting the room
where she sits beside you,
appearing self possessed and free,
a fake-smiling  mannequin of me?

Why can't I...

Just A Simple Wallflower

I'm just a simple wallflower hanging on a long thin limb
Can you see me hanging, now you just can call me singing not in grim?

I'm just a simple wallflower hanging on a long thin limb
Now I may be singing a happy song...

Wallflower, why oh why
Into dark corners, do…
You paint yourself shy

Please oh please come back
From becoming the prints on wallpaper
Fading further away to ever black

As a rose hidden well so well
Within the many crowds
Of far off garden dells

Is it the buzz buzzing sound
Of, rumors going…
Swirling about...

scared confused and broken 
no one knows me because i havnt spoken
running down croweded halls 
looks from people a confused pause

time spent hiding in the background 
it gave me the...

To this very day
I feel much like I don't have much to say
preferring to hide
and I often am told
that I don't smile

I just seem to fade into the background
and come out maybe once in awhile
to check out how things are
any changes I should be aware...

My name is unimportant, 
I can barely speak out loud.
Your beauty strikes my heart
And I am in a cloud

I love you, pretty lady. 
More than the woman that works at Denny’s.
Your hair is like fine straw,
And colored bright like honey. 

If I were sw’ave and...
