Validation Poems

Good For Nothing

Being proud of yourself isn’t enough,
When your loved ones don’t think so.
Thinking you’re tough and strong,
Yet you can’t handle the pain you know.

Every time life starts getting rough,
You bury yourself deep and low.
I try to do things right each time,
But feel handcuffed by winds that blow.

It’s freezing out here, and I’ve nowhere to go,
The cold

academic validation

Algebra makes me feel stupid.
Equations and inequalities,
algebra makes me feel stupid.
I could have an A in the grade book, but that doesn't mean that I understand. 
lost in class, barely turned that in on time.
Algebra makes me feel stupid.
So I drift into my own world.
But at least in my world, I'm not alone. 
Algebra makes

Validation

Validation

(A lone voice whispers)

Are there two types of characters in this world 
To be seen 

Ranging through love 
To business, and everything else in-between 

Those who do take risks, and those who hate taking chances, and making mistakes 

Which one are you?

A.
 A risk-taker 

Or

B. 
An idolater of stepping on the brakes 

For sometimes, 
Is

Validation

How can a man be so talented yet stupid at the same time
Oh moon, how lucky you are to make poets your biggest admirers!
How they are so hungry to tell you how worthy you are
To be reminded time and again that you are loved
Someone, somewhere, everyday describing how beautiful you are
How is it that a

Digital Disconnect

The living room,
Laughter clinging like a warm embrace,
Yet silence wraps us in a shroud.
Faces aglow from screens,
Eyes reflecting curated lives,
Fingers dancing over glass,
As warmth slips through our grasp.

We scroll, searching for connection,
Moments polished and perfect.
But intimacy dims,
Lost in the sterile glow of notifications,
?Voices mere echoes,
Fading like whispers in the night.

Conversations drift like dust,
Words replaced by

Are We Too Much?

I’ve been breathing in the fumes of my existence and expectedness for some time now…
Far too long because this thing I cannot place has had unending hold over me.

I’ve been realizing things lately, and witnessing my own lies…
That I tell myself to feel sane or rather inflict a false state of comfortability.

These realized lies are

Stop Requiring Validation from Others

Know who you are
Your worth is immense
Your ideas are unique and
You can reach your destiny

Some will try to break you down
But they are building you up
They are scared of your value and 
So they try to devalue you but
Still, you rise

The power of you has always been ready
The treasure inside of you
Must come out through

Breaking Molds

Upon the stage of life, fair maidens dance,
Their bodies stage props , they feign romance,
With painted faces, and affected charms,
They play their roles, and bear society's harms.

Forced to conform, to the whims of men,
They wear the mask, and hide their true yen,
Society's rules, they must obey,
And true identities, they must betray.

But underneath the surface, lies

Whispers Of Validation



A gifted lover who uses emotions as a bargaining chip.
Tenacious in his grieving of a relationship that had so much potential.
A thick black book what holds the libido of lovers clinged together at a most unholy hour is his collection of conquests.
She would gladly borrow virginity if it meant a commitment on his part.
I've looked

Imaginary Validation Clause

Imagine the child

Whom on a daily basis 

The only validation or commendation 

They were ever given

Was that they were told 

They were simply , less in fact 

Good for nothing at all

You lack the basic concentration and skills

Required to contribute in order

To your own educational progression

A so called educator teacher themselves

Failed in their capacity and

I Am Hard On My Self Because of You

I am hard on myself, for your presence lingers,
The weight of your judgment, my heart still remembers.
In your eyes, I sought approval and grace,
Yet I found only doubt, in my every embrace.

With each flaw magnified, I strive for perfection,
Your expectations, a relentless affliction.
But within this struggle, a truth starts to bloom,
The fault lies not in

Invisible

I am invisible today
Don't know where I did the mistake
I want validation
But no one actually cares
They're just pretending
And I am giving them my heart
They're giving me sympathy
Where I am decorating the love cart
I guess I don't want it now
And hope no one asks me why
And I know they'll not
As I have given it a try.

A Pal Full of Validation

A peacock to some, 
but to others a confident and close friend.
Confidence, humorous, 
displays feathers, 
selects the perfect mate.

Unbeknownst is he of the 
defects 
within his selection, too much time
lusting the outside, 
never fully knowing the inside.

Secure in his vibrant colors, 
overconfident that his mate would never stray.
Too concerned with the outward appearance 
of those
