Some Recognition

I feel unappreciated 

Within I'm constantly debating 

Wearing my self thin

Broken but still can't bend

I cry in the darkness 

Worry as those I protect sleep

For all of my efforts

I'm cautionary 

As if I was a disease 

So unpredictable 

Yet I've predicted 

The null state I am in

Took for a long ride

And still granted misrepresentation 

Pressed for the response 

Even when exceeding my limitations 

Loved from conception 

To be loved is perhaps my most selfish concept

Especially on days designated 

For me...
