Wallflowers

::Being Sad::

Did she always have those bruises on her arm?

I just thought she was insecure

Covered herself from harm

Didn’t he always get into fights?

I am pretty sure thats why he comes to school

wearing a big black-eye

Wasn’t she always that pale?

She’s shy I assumed

No, I never sought her out but she just kinda loomed

Since when was it my job to seek people out?

My friends and I are fine without a doubt.

She never came to us and complained

About using a blade on herself everyday

He never asked to play football with us

He never wanted to make a fuss

He sat in the corner all alone

Never telling us what goes on at home

She didn’t tell me she had a gun

She never mentioned what she was planning, but its all done

She just sat all alone, slouched in her desk

Looking as if she needed more rest

Wallflowers they assume

You pass them once never pay any thought again

You didn’t even notice when they were gone

When maybe, just maybe, all they needed was one friend.

Good poem, I love how raw and real it is. Something to consider in writing a poem like this would be how you are going to make the separation between each other characters - I was unsure if there was just a male and a female character, or if each stanza represented completely different people. Depending on this, the feeling of the poem could change from one thing from another.
