What You Think

What you think

Tell me I’m good

Praise me

Validate me

I need to be

In your good graces

I’ll only believe I’m good enough

If you say it

My self worth

It is wrapped up

In what you think of me

I’m only as good

As you think I am

So I’ll continue

To jump through your hoops

And berate myself

When I don’t live up to

What I think are your standards

And pray that one day

You’ll tell me that I’m good.
