How to Recognize

how to recognize myself, others, how others see me

I do not recognize this person that I see

 

I do not lie and believe these words that choke me

 

I recognize anger, I recognize the fake faces of glee

 

Recognition using your own words

 

now thats something,

 

Recognition using someone else's words

 

now thats nothing

 

The pain we inflict on these words because we desire others to recognize us

 

We desire to fit into a category, to be recognized as one of the guys or the girls

 

how to recognize a human, a person, a soul
