Let Go of Appeasement
In the dance of life, we often sway
To the tune of others, day by day
We wear masks of smiles, nod in agreement
Yet inside, we yearn for true fulfillment
We chase approval, like leaves in the breeze
Hoping to please, to put minds at ease
But in this chase, we lose our own song
Forgetting where our true selves belong
Why do we cling to this endless quest?
When genuine kindness is what serves us best
A warmth that flows from the heart, sincere
Not bound by the chains of others' cheer
Let go of the need to constantly appease
Embrace the freedom that comes with ease
For in kindness, there's a gentle power
That blooms within, like a radiant flower
Kindness is not a performance to play
It's a light that guides us, come what may
A gift we give, expecting no return
A flame that within us, will always burn
So step away from the pleasing parade
Let your true self be unafraid
In kindness, find your truest voice
In its warmth, let your heart rejoice
For life is too short to wear a disguise
To live for others, to compromise
Choose kindness, let it be your guide
And watch as your spirit soars and glides
In the garden of life, let kindness grow
A seed of warmth in every heart you sow
For in choosing kindness, you will find
A life of joy, both gentle and kind
So, let go of pleasing, it's time to release
Embrace the beauty of inner peace
In kindness, find your truest call
And let the weight of pleasing, finally fall
