Some of us live our lives for the approval
Of everybody, but we learn eventually that
Somebody would be adequate if
We could be so successful as to
Have a nod of yes from some one.
Recognizing at some point our bravado,
What we think of ourselves
Seems to matter least of all or none -
Perhaps because we know ourselves
Too well - Well enough to disdain.
Well enough to ignore.
Even well enough to deny
Before the cock crows thrice.


Addie W. Williams
April 28, 1983

Good poem. Most people give approval to themselves reluctantly and it is instilled from birth for us to seek approval for deeds in our lives from either society, our friends or our heart
