I wouldnt have compromised so much
so much of myself for fear of
having you hating me
I wouldve sung so loudly
it wouldve cracked myself!
I became self-conscious
of anything exuberant
I wouldnt have sold myself short
I wouldnt have kept my eyes
glued to the ground
if I hadve known my invisibility
would not make a difference
I wouldve run around screaming proudly
at the top of my voice
I wouldnt have said it was in fact luck
im talking idealism here
I would not have been so self deprecating
I wouldnt have cowered
for fear of having my eyes scratched out!
I wouldnt have cut my comfort off
I wouldnt have feigned needlessness
I would not have discredited
every one of their compliments
it was your approval I wanted
your congratulations
