I Wouldn't Have Compromised As Much

So Much Of Myself For Fear Of Having You Hating Me

I Would've Sung So Loudly

It Would've Cracked Myself!

I Because Self-conscious

Or Anything Exuberant

I Wouldn't Have Sold Myself Short

I Wouldn't Have Kept My Eyes

Glued To The Ground

If I Had've Known My Invisibility

Would Not Make A Difference

I Would've Run Around Screaming Proudly

At The Top Of My Voice

I Wouldn't Have Said It Was In Fact Luck

I'm Talking Idealism Here

I Would Not Have Been So Self Deprecating

I Wouldn't Have Cowered

For Fear Of Having My Eyes Scratched Out!

I Wouldn't Have Cut My Comfort Off

I Wouldn't Have Feigned Needlessness

I Would Not Have Discredited

Every One Of Their Compliments

It Was Your Approval I Wanted

Your Congratulations
