I wouldn't have compromised so 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 talking idealism here
  I would not have been so self 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
