The need for validation from others
Too afraid of validating self
Hiding from choices that need to be made
Behind the choices one wants to make
So what’s more important
Needing to be ones’ self through the eyes of others
Or being who you are in spite of others
Maybe
Just may be that the fear is so big
So powerful
Scared of making the wrong decisions
Breeding like-mindedness by consulting with others
Refusing to have a conversation with self
Deciding amongst yourself what’s best
But fearing the worst
Afraid someone may see you for who you are
So you play the part of what others want you to be
Conforming to the likeness of the masses
Debating your worldly fate
With those who have their best interest in mind
While they may mean well
Their advice is based on what they think is best
What do you think
Have a consensus with self
Look in the mirror
Or is it that the reflection isn’t to your liking
So you value yourself through people
Because of your self-disgust
Who is to blame
Only ones’ self
