The Victory of a Wallflower

I’ve always been the Wallflower

I laugh as it suits me just fine

But you need to tend your own backyard

Before you place one step into mine

 

You sweetly plant the seeds of doubt

Nurturing to make sure they grow

I will to thrive in spite of you

I just wanted you to know

 

When the clouds part and the sun appears

It’s for all of the world to see

Just because it’s shone on you before

Doesn’t mean it can’t now shine on me

 

The most luxurious hues of blue

Couldn’t capture the beauteous sky

The green of God’s grass is magnificent

But not when it’s the color of your eye

 

The vines you’ve woven need pruning

They are mercilessly out of control

Nature is simply spectacular

It can cleanse the black from your soul

 

Your splendid petals are fading fast

You’re wasting wisdom and sadly your youth

The ugliness seeps from within you

Soon everyone will see the truth

There are unhappy people that wants to bring others down with them which is so unfortunate. They don't want others happy because they are so miserable in their own lives ... Planting seeds of doubt in your garden can only take root if you allow it and you obviously have taken a stand in protecting yours. Yes, you will thrive in spite of them! Beautiful, empowering poem, Crystal ... hugs
