I don’t need your approval

Do you really think I care how you view me

I don’t require of you to be approving,

I know how you perceive me is not truly

A reflection of me in reality,

It’s just the hate in them and their benality

That exudes from the toxicity of their venom,

That’s built up within them over time

Their bitterness and spite is a sign,

I am comfortable with who I am and that’s just fine

I am me by my own authentic creative design,

Which is when I show out I make sure I shine.
