Wallflower

Flitting
between alternate universes
of my creation

Weaving
threads of fantasy
into my reality

Living
on my own planet
where words are magic

Do not save me from

Facing
the sneered nicknames
of their own creation

Wincing
as I get expelled
from their reality

Learning
that I live in a planet
where words can wound

And I wonder
why they forget

Walls have ears
and so do wallflowers.
