Make Yourself Proud

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
