Perks of Being a Wallflower

In shadows' embrace,
Quiet watchers thrive,
Seeing worlds unfold,
Where the silent jive.

Amidst the loud,
Their thoughts run deep,
In solitude's shroud,
Rich secrets they keep.

Eyes wide, hearts open,
Finding joy in the unseen,
In whispers unspoken,
Lies a realm serene.

From the edge, they glean,
Life's hidden tales,
In the quiet, they dream,
Where silence prevails.

Not lost, but found,
In the backdrop's glow,
Where silence sounds,
Wallflowers grow.
The wallflower stands quietly in the corner at a party
The wallflower stands quietly in the corner at a party
