TRAIL OF TEARS

Everyone
is awesome
every child is
amazing

Except me
no one
noticed
the swift
pencil strokes

Hidden genius
never to be
uncovered
or applauded

And if
for some
strange reason
you try to
look for me

I won't be
hard to find
just follow
the trail of tears

Aww! You poor little boy! Sometimes life is a bitch for children (and adults too) who have talents that no-one recognises. Think how Michelangelo, DaVinci, Shakespear, Charles Dickens felt when their work was not recognised.

Putting myself in their shoes @cecicastor BUT that being said, any of us creative people can relate to the feeling implied.

Yes, we can!
