Approval Junkie

thumb65

Hello, my name is _________ and I’m a people pleaser
The disapproval of others, I can’t bare to suffer
Addicted to opinions and the fix of instant praise
Convicted by the crime of compromise that seldom pays

When they don’t agree with what I say
When they would rather I do it their way
Though God is leading me in one direction
I yield, for fear of facing their rejection

A fool that has become a master juggler
Of views and judgments that hardly ever matter
Forced into decisions that are rarely my own
Saying yes instead of no, just to appease their groan

I’m here today because I seek freedom
From the enslaving chains of approval addiction
I’m under their thumb and can’t take it no more
I’m an approval junkie in dire need of a cure
