There was a time
When I would trek
Far out of my way
To get acceptance from others
I never felt good
About making those trips
Because
Even if I got what I wanted
When I arrived
I soon realized
That all I had to unpack
When I returned to myself
Was a bag of false self-worth
Gained with
Premeditated behavior
And a suitcase
Full of their suspect perceptions
