"Children should be seen, not heard"
Now I'm grown that seems absurd
We each have a voice in who we are
Not each of us can become a star
But rejection of who we were born
Leads to a lifetime of silent scorn
So we ask,"What's wrong with me?"
Parents and Mores control you see

A second birth needs then to arrive
To be the true self and yet survive
A mental shift in psychology of self
Put others' assessments on the shelf
Dig down deep to comfort our child
So If the 'true you' is meek and mild
Or diverse thinker who doesn't heed
Self acceptance is the way to lead

Rejection of us by parents we had
Leads to a lifetime of us being sad
Psychological birth is always a need
A trusted self versus the others' seed
So if you feel unsure and lost inside
Need to feel validated in others' pride
Know that all that can end - it's true
When you accept the real lovable you
