You're dealing with the demon of external validation. You can't beat external validation. You want to know why Because it feels sooo good.

Play
Not easy to play
In the area of constrained.
This is my poor land
And I assume validation
To revive growth.

Selfless Truth
Ask your heart, share truth with a brother
Release the desire for validation and praise
Best way to communicate with one another
Eliminates the awkwardness of paraphrase

When I was 13, I told Henry Winkler I wanted to act. He said, Do it and don't let anyone stand in your way. His validation just made it all the more true. I haven't stopped thanking him since.

Knees Trembling
The extremist will exaggerate,
The stepping away from a comfort zone.
Only to seek validation...
From anyone who had not observed,
Knees trembling as the tip toeing began.

With Thoughts Of Feeling Insignificant
So many today sit,
With thoughts of feeling insignificant.
And for those who sit,
With thoughts like this...
Seek and usually get their validation.

Entertaining the Absence of Logic
There are still those who are amply baited,
Who remain over medicated...
With hallucinations they satiate.
And prescribed just the right mix,
Of delusions to keep them fixed.
With a bombardment of mental distractions...
To ensure denial and truth is resisted.
There are still those who are amply baited,
Who remain over medicated...
With hallucinations they satiate.
The time to awaken their minds has passed.
Addicted to fantasize and this will last.
As they have been treated to dismiss,
All elements of reality in their consciousness.
Confirming with validation the admittance of conflict.
Entertaining the absence of logic and common sense.
Numbed and insisting this existence persists.
Entertaining the absence of logic and common sense.
Numbed and insisting this existence persists.
Entertaining the absence of logic and common sense.
Confirming with validation the admittance of conflict.

I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.

Invalidates All Validation
My family invalidates all validation, sometimes I pretend it is not so,
but all that I am, they invalidate, there is no real way, sane way, healthy way,
fulfilling way, real way, to be in such hostility.

It would be real nice to have some kind of bell or whistle attached to this film - it would give it a longer life. People seem to need that validation to go to a film these days.

Demanding Confirmation
Once a validation has been made,
A declaration of its effectiveness...
Does not have to be kept replayed.
And an achievement,
That has been reached,
Has no need to be repeatedly preached.
Unless those who are doing this...
Live in denial,
And reality is disbelieved.
Leaving them demanding confirmation...
To only restrict success,
Until an acceptance of approval...
Is given with their authority.

On Substance And One's Perception
When people deluded,
Have also been fed validation...
That supports their beliefs,
Everything they fantasize...
Has a long lasting affect,
On substance and one's perception.
That which conflicts with it,
Has no influence at all.
No matter how long...
Truth has been in existence.
And the evidence of it most effective.

Low-key
Titles worn by some,
To them become as significant as the air one breathes.
It is as if a validation has been achieved.
And what they do has merit and can be believed.
But as for me...
I prefer not to wear my titles at all.
I have too many!
And then to do so hints of a certain pretentiousness.
You know what I mean?
I choose to remain low-key.
Although I do 'update' my résumé.
And make sure my 'bio' has no typos!
I want to represent the common man as best as I can.

Admittance
I was thanked for my honesty today
A noble deed.
The truth unfolded
A validation of an honest woman
But yet I lie
and I lie
and I lie
Just like him
and you
and you.
So where does that leave me
Lying in a cesspool of honesty
Or just merely keeping my head above water
Escaping death only to drown
In your sea of mediocrity

A New Submission
Congratulations.
I see you have added a new submission.
'Yes I did.
And what did you think of it? '
Me?
I really didn't read it.
I rarely read any of them,
As much as I count them.
Keep up the good work.
'Uh...
Thank you? '
No problem at all.
'Well,
One never knows.
Maybe one day the contents,
Of my submissions...
Will acturally be read,
To broaden one's perspective.
And the counting of them by number,
Will become less of a validation...
That one knows 'something' about math.'

Above Sea Level
After ten years,
A myth created ends.
And in the ending of this myth,
Not a shred of evidence...
Can be confirmed that this existed.
But a validation of conflicts,
Continue to afflict above sea level.
To magnify the difference,
Between traditions.
And...
To keep the expense,
Of a meaningless purpose...
Kept deceptively mystified,
And unknown in the doing!
