alone you sit there

doing nothing

no one knows where

or how a sight could be coming

the wilted flower alone

without a care

of whom comes or goes

an old path of bright flowers

leads to the wilted flower

a child sitting alone with pain on their face

no one to help them smile

the wilted flower

one of the unknown fears hidden

by their mask of cheerfulness

the wilted flower

of all the sorrows

and pain

of the wilted flower

the wilted flower

the most wilted of them all

because they hide the most pain in their lives

the wilted flower
