Need of Affirmation

Lately, I find myself asking
Should I trust my guts or it's anxiety?
The conundrum, the wondering
Will it ever get better, for real?

I know you don't see me this way
But I'm the one who gives the shape to this body
And the more you grow, the more you find
The things you know, they solidify

Speaking in tongues, and speaking in nonsense
I know it's hard for you to tell the difference
But if peace is a piece of something we look for
I don't wanna feel special, I just wanna feel good
I don't wanna feel special, I just wanna feel good
I don't wanna feel special, I just wanna feel good
I don't wanna feel special, I just wanna feel good

Thank God, I didn't listen to them
Thank God, I didn't listen to them

Hiding myself in a comforting zone
Won't help anybody, won't help people I know
For the first time in my life, I feel that I can stand alone
And that's the only way that I can let somebody in

I don't want anybody's validation
No, I don't need it anymore
I won't lower my head again every time that something spiteful
Will try to erode my skin

I know now that I'm worth a living
And my body won't belong to them any longer
It never did

Thank God, I didn't listen to them
Thank God, I didn't listen to them
Thank God, I didn't listen to them
Thank God, I didn't listen to
