Poem
gods-book.com When your hard work is achieved, and it makes you feel proud, You are quick to share its reward with a familiar crowd. Expecting reactions to affirm your accomplishments, Wanting those close to you to show signs that boost confidence. Seeking their approval of achievements you’ve made, Gives assurance to you if it’s positive reactions they relayed. It could be a new car you bought from the showroom floor, And you’re hoping for signs of their admiration and more. Or maybe the result of a hard project you completed, Hoping their reaction is the pat on the back that you needed. Maybe you’re feeling proud of something you’ve made, And completely expecting those close to be amazed. We seek other’s reactions, looking for signs of approval, If the task to achieve it puts us through something brutal. It makes us feel justified in the actions we experience, Making you proud when we see their positive appearance. But their reactions won’t be meaningful to you, If the words don’t match their reactions too. If it’s something you gave all the attention you could, But still need their approval to feel like you should. But when we reveal the object of these approvals we seek, To friends and family but doesn’t cause interest to peek. Makes us question our motive of the hard road we took, That didn’t seem to merit even those closest to look. Now we’re confused as to why they didn’t react, Leaving us feeling unaccomplished, as a matter of fact. Your closest friends and family have a lower opinion it would seem, Of your achievement, and not considering your self-esteem. If you’re looking to them for signs of equal satisfaction, Seeing your excitement should promote their attraction. And even if this thing you worked so hard on, they didn’t understand, Shouldn’t they still express interest like a true fan? Note: When asked your opinion, it’s a sign of respect, So, be positive when reacting and consider its effect. It’s easy to react and accidentally cause feelings of hurt, When not being considerate of someone for their hard work.
