All My Life

All my life I yearn
Of praises and acceptance
Yet, I remain to be the same
Unappreciated and unaccepted

All my life I try
To be what people want me to be
Lost in their world of expectation
I killed my own identity

All my life I strive
For achievements and success
But failure seems to trouble me
So I was thinking I was trying to fail

All my life I seek
Of love and of happiness
They're fleeting and rare to find
Which is why I still try to find

All my life I talk
About nonsense and all
Until I learned to listen
And then I learned to talk with sense

All my life I feel
For all those things I didn't have
Til' I learned to appreciate them
Now they made me stronger

All my life I am desperate
For respect and assurance
I never overcome such
Now I am still a worrywart
