I only need to be recognized by myself
I don’t need the applause of the crowd
The praise of the critics
The approval of the peers
The validation of the others
I only need the recognition of myself
The honesty of my heart
The clarity of my mind
The integrity of my soul
The satisfaction of my work
I don’t need to compare myself to anyone
The standards of the society
The expectations of the family
The achievements of the friends
The opinions of the strangers
I only need to be myself
The uniqueness of my personality
The creativity of my expression
The passion of my pursuit
The vision of my purpose
