Unappreciated

Like the wind I am there but you do not see me If I were to blow you away in a instance would you still doubt my existence? Like the water I flow, but yet you pay me no mind Must I drown you for you to realize I am alive? Like the ground you step on me but you don't give a care Must you fall to appreciate I was there? Like the clouds I am floating but you never look to the sky Should I make it rain upon your head for your eyes to meet mine? Like a fire I burn so brightly but you still do not see my light Must I set your flesh ablaze for me to receive your unrelenting gaze? Like the snow I fall all around you but you do not give heed Should I bury you in snow flurries for you to notice me? Like a tree I give you shade but my shelter you do not seek Must I be cut down to and made into something new before I mean anything to you? Like the sun I warm your skin but I can not warm your heart within Must I melt your very soul for you to know that I love you so? The answer to my many questions is no for I have waited so long that I have become outdated and hated. Therefore I will never mean anything to you for I am the unappreciated.
