Wallflower

This is about the feelings I know that a lot girls go through, teenagers. Some of them try but are always outcasts and end up giving up on life, but you are not alone

I have a name which no one knows
A fly on the wall, a painless blister
I see no one in the style of my clothes
When I speak it's like a ghostly whisper

I look at you but your eyes divert
Somehow that tree is more interesting
I cannot bond for I am inert
Friendships are not meant for investing

Groups of people snicker as I pass
I do love Snickers but only chocolate
If I had a fake personality and a*s
I probably would be everyones target

I love my books, we can relate to each other
I love my poems, they always listen
My peers ignore me like I do my brother
His friends encourage him to teach me a lesson

Teachers love me, for I behave
They don't like me cause I ignore them
Sometimes I wonder what would go on my grave
Here lies the girl with the social problem

I wear long sleeves now even when its warm
No one asks and I don't tell
I have little friends on my arms
My razor carves them there so well

Online I smile, they only see my bravado
No clue of the pain and loneliness beneath
They think I'm boasty cause I love to ride solo
I try to run but can't get this lead off my feet

I go to the park and sit by myself
I see couples smiling, kissing and cuddle
Am I deformed? Do I have the ears of an elf?
Am I surrounded by an impenetrable bubble?

I have a name which no one knows
I wish I had some kind of super power
To fly away to a world of rainbows
But I'm rooted, for I am a wallflower

I think many can relate to your words.

The above lines just pull at the heartstrings.
Brilliant writing.

Thank u for your words! I appreciate it!

you do this perspective, from the female point of view, so well...

there are so many good lines of contradiction....teachers love me for one reason, hate me for another...
I am just there, no one notices me...the tree is more exciting to look at.

very sad but very true for many...
and the outward smile hides the inside frown.

good stuff, A.D.

Well having crossed my teenage i could relate to it.i was the same girl as you have described but gradually i opened up. I liked the personification of wallflower. It seems you have done a lot of homework on woman psychology so you could write it just the correct way. A really nice write. And your last lines about.flying. hah
Dont tell me i love flying
:)keep writing
