Can Wallflowers Bloom?

Can wallflowers bloom?
I wonder.
They stand and wait for the attention given roses and tulips
They don’t seem to shine as brightly
They can clothe themselves in brighter clothing,
Change the color of their petals,
But can they bloom?
They wilt in the presence of indifference
They pale in the light of disregard
They fade in the shadow of callous words
The world moves around them
Swirling in its eddies of selfishness
The wallflower looks on, dreaming
Dreaming of belonging, of joining the roses and tulips
The nourishment they so crave is denied
The wallflower wilts, pales, fades,
Eventually dying of loneliness
Can wallflowers bloom?
Can I?

Yes a wallflower can bloom if you can learn to love you. It's true you know. You may not be a glorious tulip or rose but you might be something enchanting like a....Bird of Paradise or maybe a rare orchid. Your poem touched my heart and you will bloom, all you have to do is unfold your petals to begin.
Loved this one... Kie |

| Rather sadly I think, but with an understandable opinion. A common question it seems to those of common ilk. But enough of that, all things are possible indeed. For the world is a parade of potentials. Watered by beliefs, love, knowledge and hard labors...I presume that even wallflowers will bloom. |

You can bloom if you want to, the real question is are you ready to bloom? I loved this poem!

Yes you can bloom. I did, but it is only in and for me. I do not care anymore if others are brighter. I can stay in my own little world and bloom until I am a blooming idiot. At least I am content.
