To Be

Recognition is all i seek.
Might not admit it out loud,
but that is what i desire.

To be recognized.
To not be ignored.
to not go unnoticed.
To go recognized.

To be recognized as 'me',
not a shadow to an unwanted body.
but a brain to the body,
a soul to the body,
the liveliness of the body.
To be recognized for 'the beauty of my soul'.
the brain to this beautiful soul.

The brain to the beautiful unnoticed soul
that gives life to the unwanted body.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
