Every book has its readers. Someday someone will read the poems.
I DO AGREE that wallflowers and poems may be 'lonely', sometimes 'against their wills/desires, BUT TRUTHFULLY it's the human poets who may be 'lonely'. I doubt that POEMS have feelings in reality. : ) ,
I used to think of a wallflower as also a 'plain or unattractive female at a dance', but possibly anxious/wanting to be asked to dance by a male.
I AM NOT a 'WALLFLOWER', yet many of my poems 'sit against the dance room wall, more than ready to 'DANCE'! ! !
'wallflower': 'informal. a shy person, especially a girl or woman, who is frightened to involve herself in social activities and does not attract much interest or attention: Sooner or later someone would take pity on the poor wallflower and ask her to dance.'

Well said indeed! Poetry is written for others to enjoy and submerge in the truths or feelings expressed; it has little purpose besides this.
