This Need For Recognition Poem by Francis Duggan

This need for recognition it is in everyone
Just to be commended for a job well done
For to be ignored can be a hurtful thing
As it can live in the mind as a painful mental sting
To be mentally starved of a thing the mind of is in need
For so many people is so sad indeed
It is widespread in people Worldwide in every Land
This need for recognition which should not be hard to understand
Though not everyone can be wealthy and know of widespread fame
Few wish to live and die as an unremembered name
It only does seem a true thing to say
That we all need recognition in some sort of a way
At least with most people this is how it does seem
To be ignored is detrimental to one's self esteem.
