Grey Because It's Never Just Black Or White

Recognized

It's slightly kind of sad;

Okay maybe a lot

You're just a thought, not really needed

Barely focused on

Barely seen.

Of course there are times you are seen

When you're needed for something

Help me do this

Help me do that

But you're never recognized.

You're not put up in statuses

Your birthday is barely remembered'

Your picture dared not be shared to let the world know

That you're a friend.

Just imagine the embarrassment

Sigh!

Just to be recognized.

You're the shoulder everyone leans on

But naturally you don't have any shoulders

Are they bored?

Of course they text you.

They have no other choice

Recognized?

You're barely even valued by any of them that call themselves friends

It's such a simply strong word

"Friend"

You're not really anyone to them but here's a title.

What else do you want from them?

Proof?! You're funny.

Just ensure that when they're hungry you feed them

When they're crying, you provide a shoulder

When they're in trouble, bail them out

Recognized?

You're asking for too much

They're far too busy with their actual 'friends' to even remember that you were born

But they're other friends were born

Look, see, he put her up for her birthday

She posted a picture with her friend

Now that's something called recognition

You wouldn't know...

Would you?

Important dates, important events?

You're not invited

They'll sit and talk to you

But just until a friend with higher points comes along

And let's be truthful

Every other friend has higher points than you

Feeling sad, broken?

Hide it, it doesn't matter to them if you were drowning in your own tears.

Choose you?

They'd rather be alone

Stop asking to be recognized

You want them to recognize that you deserve recognition when the only souls that recognize you are the ones who made you and they only recognize you because they partially have to

Whoa

That verse was way too long

You need to recognize

That you don't need recognition from a soul but yourself

Because no one recognizes a soul that doesn't recognize themselves first

No one recognizes the unrecognizable

And you're pretty unrecognizable if you don't recognize yourself.

Value yourself

And someone will value you
