Donna Tymec Poet Free verse

Validation In Oneself

You have diluted and poisoned me,
You tried to tell me that I am nothing without you!
I don't need your validation in my life.
You thinking batting your eyes will make me believe.
But your validation of me,
is not worthwhile to my existence.
My validation is priceless and valuable of my own self worth.
Others like you are looking for validation in their own selves. 
I'm guessing you will never find that validation of oneself, 
Cause you will never find what you are looking for if you tell lies
Your validation of me is not needed,
because it's a reflection on how others feel about you.

Line Gauthier December 30, 2018 at 8:01 AM Whew... that sounded like it needed to be said. Sad but a key moment of self-empowerment toward strength and facing the situation head on.
