A nice word with a nice meaning, right?
You win or you don't.
You get recognized or you don't.
But, doesn't it hurt?
The pain of meaningless achievements?
Are the even meaning full?
Are they worth your time?
Will your colleges be proud of a teachers approval of you?
Or will the laugh at it?
Will the turn you the other way?
And if you don't win, how does it feel to lose?
To not be noticed?
Is it all attention?
Or is it the saddening thought of no recognition?
In a game of wit, of simple hide and go seek, are you the seeker or the ones that hide from them?
Or are you child that wasn't invited to the birthday bash, missing out on all the fun?
Any one could be brought up,
while others can be put down.
"Are you the special one" they all say.
But are you?
Because if you didn't get an award, then your just another party invite.
Or are you?
It's hard to look on the bright side of things when you feel like a failure,
but at least your there, more then all the others that are not.
Your friends can beat you.
You can be only called up once.
Or not at all.
Your award or lack thereof will make you feel horrible, worthless and a unsuccessful, but what about the the restart button?
They are always there when you need them.
Just hit reset and you can try again.
And when you succed where you failed before,
It will give the importance of awards a whole new meaning.
