i am a wallflower and a butterfly.
i wonder who they really are.
i hear their cries behind their laughter.
i see the insecurity in their eyes.
i want them to leave the others alone.
i am a wallflower and a butterfly.
i pretend not to notice.
i feel their anger.
i touch their nerves.
i worry about the others.
i cry for whom they break.
i am a wallflower and a butterfly.
i understand why he cried.
i say how much i hate them.
i dream their hearts will heal.
i try to open their eyes.
i hope they'll know what they've done.
i am a wallflower and a butterfly.
