Confirmation

“you cannot make people value you”; “you cannot love people into loving you”

I learnt once again how true this is today

sometimes you need to work yourself to the bone to realise that the applause will never come

no matter how many deals you close, how many millions you bring forth, you will remain unseen by those who do not want to see you

you stretch until you break, hoping that your pieces might be seen and cherished

but no one notices

so you gather your precious pieces, set them together in wilder patterns

to share the wholeness with those who have always seen and loved you

for they are many
