In the background

In a world where anyone can gain

Instant social media fame

Visibility is the new holy grail of success

Social media makes us want to express

Our individuality in innovative ways

Broadcast our talents and showcase

Our achievements, let everyone know

Who we are, what we do, and so

We start thinking visibility equates relevance

For the spotlight we have a longing intense

Staying in the background does not appear

Compatible with success- this is what we fear..

*

Not everyone is meant to be in the limelight

Some pull crucial strings without being in sight

To be the backbone of an enterprise

Working unglamorously unseen by many eyes

Is at least as important and relevant

As being an influencer who posts engaging content

Staying in the background while running an organization

Is invaluable, despite lack of social media recognition

Work that you cannot brag about in a social

media post

Is the work that is likely to fulfill you the most.
