Living life making others proud
Making sure you reach their expectations
Always asking for their validation
Still when you rise to the occasion
Your good is not good enough
So you left with a frown
Afraid to do things on your own
Ask for help and now you owe them the world
Feels like your life is not your own
Don’t let them control you
Never exchange free will for a person's blessing
You can stand on your own
Even when trouble comes
Be proud of yourself
Live life for you
Don’t let others live life through you

We need to put ourselves first, if we don't we can't be there for ourselves and others
Great piece. It's so easy to worry about disappointing people you love without ever stopping to think, how much could they love me if they are asking far too much of me?
