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   if i had´ve 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 taking idealism here   i would not have been so deprecating   i wouldn´t have cowered   for fear of having my eyes scratched out!   i wouldn´t have cut my comfort off   i wouldn´t have feigned needlessness   i would not have discredited   every one of their compliments   it was your approval i wanted   your congratulations
