What have you to build your character with
When other's acceptance is the only thing you wish?
What originality in yourself is there to find
When opinions are all you allow to define?
If all you are is what your assets cost
How easily then must you turn up lost?
If negative comments cut through you with ease
How fragile must you seem to be?
If all your work is for another's benefit
Why would you keep allowing it?
Recognize when it's time to start anew,
Don't let them keep destroying you.
