external validation
it's your drug of choice
it starts with
gold stars for
good behavior
the seed to please
it just grows and grows
into a wild jungle vine
gold stars turn into
compliments and "likes"
it feels so nice
but it's not
because you
need it
more and more
you have to
win the award
it controls you
and you don't
even know
who you
are anymore
