Perhaps It Has Been A Blessing/To Be Unknown Unrecognized

Perhaps it has been a blessing To be unknown unrecognized No one has bothered me Or criticized me severely I am not disturbed wherever I go I have been able largely To go my own way alone I have been free to write What I wanted to And what I believed in- Disappointment and rejection Are always with me Loneliness also A sense of failure too- But I have done what I could do And still strive for the recognition I will probably never have And probably do not really deserve Perhaps it has been a blessing To be unknown unrecognized Perhaps.
