Recognition

[RhymeLovingWriter]

I think this kind of awareness can only come with having lived the life - and great good comes from knowing oneself this well. Kind of excited to see where you're going to take this...

A symbol of hope
A rising star
A man on top
I can go far

I'm recognised
I'm a celebrity
For a brief moment
It completes me

I have achieved
I have endeavoured
Now I step up to the stage
A day to remember

But that's all there is
In this hollow life
Everything else was in ruin
But I'll leave it all behind

...

A person broken
A fading light
A great nervousness
I know the reasons why

But again, I recognised
I'm a celebrity
For another moment
But it's not for me

I have faltered
I have wasted my time
Avoid the stage and clapping hands
I'm nothing more than a lie

That's what I am
In this hollow, depressing life
Everything now lies in ruin
My worries, my failure
At least I can leave it all behind

One part was when I accepted a school award, and the other is what would've happened if I got another one (where given of what I went through later in my school days, I would've wanted to turn it down).
