Your Congratulations Your Congratulations I wouldn't have compromised as much So much of myself for fear of having you hating me I would've sung so loudly It would've cracked myself! I became self-conscious Of anything exuberant I wouldn't have sold myself short I wouldn't have kept my eyes Glued to the ground İf I hadn't known my invisibility Would not make a difference I would've run around screaming proudly At the top of my voice I wouldn't have said it was in fact luck I'm talking idealism here I would not have been so self deprecating I wouldn't have cowered For fear of having my eyes cut my comfort off I wouldn't have feigned needlessness I would not have discredited Every one of their compliments İt was your approval I wanted Your congratulations...
