​How much energy spent
How many opportunities lost
Because of my obsession with what others
may think of me
I turn this way
Walk upright
Speak in such a way
All to be acceptable to the fickle invisible lowercase other.
Comparatively little am I obsessed with the uppercase Other, who, though also invisible is never fickle.
Forgive me, dear Lord, for whoring after the approval that I don’t even want instead of earnestly seeking the approval of my true Master.
