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.
