Recognition
Everyone needs recognition
for the things that they do
especially by those who matter most.
If they ignore you, call you second best
the hurt festers deep inside
never letting you go.
You never release the full potential
of what you’re capable of.
Every talent need to be nurtured
especially by the ones you love.
That recognition by them
is important in your life.

To be important, …
Importance is not goodness.
It is a quality entailing
Attention or recognition.
It’s important to respect;
It’s important to serve;
It’s important not to hurt.
Anyone who is not important
By breed, wealth or rank
Can become important thus.

A Tree of Homing certainty
ironic representation is killing the deconstructive ability of laughters
Please keep a value of intellect on 3Rs
recognition, realization and revolution in innovating life
upside down the reality as the world is seemingly in the hole of seduction
surfing on the surface of recognition
going deep into the realization of trans-reality
breezing on the smooth surface of revolution
a tree of deconstructive construction touching moments on timings of life
recognition, realization and revolution are apples to be eaten by the force of grativy-oriented incidents
Lesbian Recognition
Lesbians, get it into your head
No one cares what you do in bed
If you want to get wed
Then so to the alter be led
Everywhere I go
Sexuality and identity
Has become the flow
Gay Rights!
Gay Recognition!
Recognition for touching a female breast
And changing sexuality from east to west
Recognition for kissing a female lip
And for warmly caressing a womans hip
I'm not usually one for condemnation
But what has become of this nation
Where women clap thier hands in celebration
For recognition of artificial insemination

The Love Of Words
Literature is like the sound of life,
So start with it to know your muse;
For the love of words is all that it takes.
How do you know where it came from when,
You have not set out to find it?
But life is like war to start with.
Ethics are full of principles and,
Creativity is part of mankind;
So release your dreams and go for it!
And with self confidence to gain your future,
Because with success comes recognition.
The love of words,
Self-esteemed and of a prestigious life style;
But show me your status-quo and,
I will tell you who you are.

Letting Go Today
today i am letting go of all the pain
today i am letting go of everything
and after today i will leave here knowing that you did love me
and i believe that things will change
all the things that were left unsaid
all the things we never did
i am letting go today
mom i am letting you go today
i understand that i have made some mistakes
some which i am still paying for today
but i am ready for change. it takes two to fight
and i refuse to fight anymore after today
dad i am letting go today
you gave me the best seven months of ma life
you showed me that everyone is not the same
and have different ways with dealing with things
i hurt you but i am letting all that go today
all the lies and the tears in ma eyes
tory i am letting go today
i was confused
had noone in the world to tell me what to do
i have so much pain and hate but im letting all that go today
i am humen and i dont always have the answer for everthing
i am tryen but i need to try harder.
so i am letting maself go today
all the hurt all the pain
i promise you i am letting it all go today

Lift
This is the place
Sit down, you're safe now
You've been stuck in a lift
We've been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won't hurt, it will not hurt
A smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to go home
This is the place
Remembering all the things you always see
You've been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale
At the bottom of the ocean
A smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to go home
Today is the first day of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt

I have a talent for silence and brevity. I can keep silent when it seems best to do so, and when I speak I can, and do usually, quit when I am done. This talent, or these two talents, I have cultivated. Silence and concise, brief speaking have got me some laurels, and, I suspect, lost me some. No odds. Do what is natural to you, and you are sure to get all the recognition you are entitled to.

The whole path of American music has been so much about the recognition of stylistic diversity, and the recognition of the importance of music which was from one of the vernacular traditions.

In the perception of the incongruous stimuli, the recognition process is temporarily thwarted and exhibits characteristics which are generally not observable in the recognition of more conventional stimuli.

Women tend to have recognition and peer group support - recognition from friends and family that this has to be a big issue in their lives. They're more comfortable expressing the need for support and receiving it.

Extraordinary Things
There are people in time of crisis
who do extraordinary things.
They do them not for gain,
money or fame,
nor for any gratification,
but because they want to do them.
They have the insight of what might happen
if something is not done.
When once it is finished
into obscurity, they melt away.
They never talk about
their achievement to anyone,
not even those closest to them,
but let time fade it away.
It is only when it is discovered in future years.
They receive the recognition
they so richly deserve.
These people are very humble
never thinking what they had done
was worthy of any recognition,
it was just something they wanted to do.

Ingorance
I try so hard just to be nice to you
but then you ignore me making me blue
i am dying more and more everyday
i change in every way
i feel like bleeding from my eyes
I am going isane inside
I would do anything for you but you just ignore me
i am stuck my visions gone blurry
WHy do you have to hurt me soo much when all im doing is trying to help
Im just being your friend and your being something else
why why must you hurt me so
You torment me with out even trying
You are killing me i'm dying
i go on everyday with a fake smile
Wishing for just a little while
that you'll change your mind and be nice to me
but dont and everytime it brings on the insanity
suicide flashes through my head every minute
i can barely cope with it
maybe that rope around my neck will feel good
maybe the bullet through my chest will take the pain i gained from you
i am screaming on the inside and no one can hear my call
do i matter at all
i am tired of trying so i think i'll give up
with life i've had enough

My Choice, Will Heaven Complain?
If heaven will complain
I don't know,
Endowed so much i am.
My many talents and outfits
Passions me in confusion
Stirring me to see as destiny.
But talent i know is not destiny
Talent, gift of nature nurtured by environ
Destiny, gift of nature nurtured by divinity.
Hands can thwart talent, but
The tick tack of clock even stop
Can't thwart destiny
No matter the weather.
It is inborn, you, yourself, yoursoul.
I don't care if family complain
For my choice,
But i don't know
If heaven will complain.

I sorry for what I do
I cried and cried today I know I hurt you
And I sorry for everything I did do
I sorry for hurting u inside and out
I sorry for never knowing when to shut my mouth
I sorry for not letting you get any sleep
I sorry and I know I hurt you very deep
I sorry for doing the things I did do
I wish I could take it back I wouldn’t hurt you
I sorry I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Its breaking my heart tearing me apart
I sorry for what I did do!

Getting Over You
Letting go of you was not something i wanted to do
I had no choice, so i decided to let go
Its not hard to let go but that doesnt mean its easy
Even though it hurt me deep inside i still let go
I love you with every piece of my heart
And one thing i cannot do is get over you
Your the one i trust
The one who changed me
The one i can give my life to
A person who can protect me
I wouldnt be here if it were not for you
Its hard living with this decision
And i dont know if letting you go was right
But whats done is over i let you go
Now the hardess part of all
I have to some how get over you

Getting Past The Pain
if you can understand,
you can see,
all of this hurt and pain,
i'm just sick of,
can you see,
i want to be any where but, here?
i'm sick of dealing with life,
just let me go,
let me be selffish,
i really don't care,
i'm sick of feeling this way,
i'm sick of feeling alone,
life not getting better,
just let me have my only choice,
to take away this pain for good,
i've thought of ways,
where i won't return,
just let me be,
i'll see you in another life,
a life that is better than this,
because by the end of each day,
i try my hardest to remain,
but, it just harder to stay,
when all you really want,
is to take this pain away,
that deep inside,
that won't subside,
no matter if i cry,
no matter how hard i try,
i just can't get past this pain.
