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
