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
