Beneath All the Layers

At the bottom of the mystery
   that is existence
Beneath all the layers worn
   for subsistence

Under happy and sad faces
   desires to visit strange places
Cravings for praise and approval
   binges blocking weight removal

Without building a solid foundation
It's hard to resist temptation
   ~ not easy to stave off ruination

“Craving for praise and approval” makes sense to me.
