Seeking Affirmation




Why is it we seek out affirmation from others on various issues?
Or, do most, in true definition of the meaning, simply not or don’t care?
For those who reckon and reason the later are simply liars, I do believe.
Confirmation of task can simply give one the confidence to continue.

In a perfect world we should be able to make self declaration and trust self.
It is difficult to have the faith in ones self that allows doubtless thoughts.
To dream about total confidence in ones own abilities in all they attempt.
One should be able to wander through life, head held high and no hesitation.

Some, adrift in their own insecurities, will attempt to pull you into their abyss.
You begin to struggle with letting them drown or reaching in and pulling them free.
If you let them drown you would be giving power to the words of those watching.
Those standing in observation with no confidence in them let alone an assist.

It all equates to being strong enough in you to only need yourself for validation.
But, we still, ask our peers what they think and how they feel on a constant basis.
Is it so bad to give any amount of support to someone, anyone, friend or stranger.
Silence speaks volumes and allows the brain to come up with a variety of opinions.

In time you will be strong and steadfast in your belief that what you care about matters.
There will be no need to search and seek out the opinions that give you validation.
Validation will come from that one and only source that matters and that is your heart.
Trust yourself, love what you love, like what you like, but care about everyone.
