Searching For Praise
Break out of the cycle of seeking praise
It keeps you wanting more
Over time losing sight of your reason for
Seeking praise becomes about the other person
And so your mental health does worsen
You lose sight of what’s most essential
Your hopes and dreams; your true potential
To create solely for another’s adoration
Is a very ill-advised flirtation
Will only end in frustration
And you will lose your very foundation
To live to please
Most certainly guarantees
That you will become a slave
Always questioning how to behave
Because you must ensure
You’re in line with your observateur
You will sacrifice your happiness
Always questioning how to express
And what to repress
And so you obsess
And surely do stress
While one’s own self you do oppress
This cycle does continue
Because you never believe what’s in you
