The One In The Background

~This one is for all antisocials, introverts and loners~

I try to blend with the colours in the centre
But eventually, just fade in the background
And how will I mingle with the many faces
That are a myriad of pleasing vibrance
When all I am is sombre grey and beige
Unappealing like a smudged painting of oceans.

The air around me is heavy with reserved silence
For if I wish to voice, its merely a doleful recital
Or monotonous tales of a not so exciting life
And perhaps when a wrong impulse triggers me
Its a nonsensical babbling exposing my dim-wits

In a garden of roses, I grew to be a weed
And with time, I burried deeper under the surface
Being compelled to bloom like rest of the flowers
But I only withered further in my dark confine
That's now become my comfort zone, far away
Somewhere behind the lights and cheerful people...
