Unrecognized for now...

In a world filled with voices clamoring for attention

I quietly pen my thoughts on paper

Hoping they will resonate with just one soul

But I know the odds are slim

I probably won't get recognized for my poems

They may never be lauded in prestigious circles

Or published in anthologies for all to see

But that's not why I write

I write for the love of words and their power

To capture moments and emotions in time

To express the depths of my soul

Even if no one else ever reads them

So I'll continue to write, regardless

For the joy it brings me, the release it offers

And maybe, just maybe, one day

Someone will stumble upon my words

And find solace in them, as I do.
