Wall Flower

Closed off

Like a tulip bulb

Dampened by her environment

Frozen into the earth

Her voice

A drowned echo

She shouted but

Invisible tides muffled her

She knew all the answers

Whispering them under her breath

But, she hardly raised her hand

A hidden gem

Once, hiding from herself
