Forget the wilting plant sitting in the shadows,
in the corner and so dull amongst the vivid
colours of the orchids and sunflowers pointing
towards the brilliance of the midday sun.
She leans in the damp corners of the garden,
hoping to be noticed and yet, dreading to be.
Her leaves have shriveled up and a dusty coat
covers her completely as her ashen petals fall,
and she fades into nothingness as the days go by.
