I am looking for validation,
To staying focus on the right path.
Or, at least, in the right direction.
I am reaching for your approval,
Some sign for your judgement.
Balancing out the principles & merit.
I am waiting on acceptance,
Love of belonging somewhere
Rather than out in the world.
....Then I realized ....
I no longer need validation
I no longer want to seek approval
I no longer wait for acceptance
