Kim Van Breda Poet Didactic

Approval

APPROVALIt does not matter how hard we try
In our fight for approval in others sight

25% of people will NEVER be partial to you
25% DON’T like you but might be persuaded to
25% of people DO but may be persuaded to change their view
Only 25% will love you unconditionally
Although perhaps not continually

It does not matter how hard we try
We will never get it 100% right<>

Terry-Ann Coley July 9, 2013 at 9:15 AM Very true and something we should all bear in mind

Timothy Hicks May 25, 2013 at 12:10 AM Wow, I love this! It's so important to stand up for what you think is right... and know that no matter what there will always be enemies that go against you. Being fake just to please others gets you no where. Not to sound cliche, but here it goes... be TRUE to YOU!

Matthew Anish May 23, 2013 at 11:32 AM True words! I hope that 25% is the case! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
