Appreciation’s Sake

To feel good on the inside as well as on the outside?

To be who I dreamed myself to be?

Without holding on to someone else’s expectations?

It is wrong to set myself free of worries

About what others think of me?

All I ever wanted was to be appreciated

But somehow they can never accept who I am

I’m not  as bad as they think I am

I’m just experimenting with all the goodness of life

Don’t they ever realize 

I’ve never been complimented this good

I’ve never been accepted so nicely

Till this time that I’ve changed

And now all I ever wanted 

Is for them to accept this change

Coz I don’t want to be the second one anymore

And I only wish for them to accept me

Appreciate me for who I was

For who I am, and for who I’m gonna be.
