Silent And Obscure Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Richly deserved honor and praise is rarely given to those
who truly deserve it.

Quiet, unobtrusive, introverted, brilliant and obscure,
they are always hidden, why is it I wonder?

It seems the louder and more boisterous a person is, the
more recognition they will get.

Never seeking limelight or adoring crowds, some of the
most intelligent and creative people will never be
recognized in this life.

Preferring the silent and obscure life, wanting to do
their own thing and not have to be torn by others.

Well-respected wonderful people, never receiving the
honor and praise they truly deserve from the world.

Living totally in obscurity all their lives, actually
preferring it to the alternative.
