What Do You Want, Really?
You don’t know what’s next, and that’s alright
You never really understood the idea of success
It is, in its nature, a self-defined word
You always thought you had to prove your worth
Why?
You felt the need to change something, and become noticed.
You wanted to be known.
I can only offer what I know so far.
You have to learn to validate yourself
Otherwise you will live your whole life trying to please other people.
I know that twisted wrist behind your back, I know that fake plastered smile,
I know the gritted teeth and the tired eyes.
Walk away.
I’ve always been a people pleaser and now in therapy I’m learning to finally put myself first. It’s weird and I’m defo not used to it but yeah.
