Poem
I gave up on winning my mothers approval because I never received it, in doing so gave up on winning approval and set free of it, I do not know what this win offers and thus I do not need it, I do not crave peoples acceptance thus I do not seek it, my self worth isn't based on how others choose to perceive it, I see walking with the herd as a manipulated weakness, filtering what's heard fronting fake a common feature, the fitting in the needy fix a superficial fixture, I'm a human amongst humans yet I am a different creature, not driven by corrupted gains framing fraudulent picture, achievements aint achievements if achieved through acts deceitful, competition comes with honour when done honestly with people, win or lose the honours true and selfish looks like evil, sneaky sly behind ones back is hardly strong or lethal, transparent honesty from me a helpless impulsive speaker, I'll call you on your gaslighting unfair to those beneath ya, confronting trouble causes trouble but I cannot leave it, because trouble causes trouble and shielding it's defeatist, allowing it only allows the starters to repeat it, and everytime the trouble grows the trouble is exceeded, alike approval grows a greedy taste and they must eat it, too many of them climb the chain, leaderless as leaders, without a gain to ascertain blind eyes refuse to beat it avoiding wrongs to awkwardness no lesson my life teaches, I was made to stand alone and fight them on the beaches, my path is that, my path, on a course which only reaches, stature born from fitting in stops freedom and breeds leaches, the greater your approval needs, the greater is your weakness, do what right, to do what right brings order and brings neatness walking my own route through life, wearing my own sneakers!
