SELF ACTUALIZATION
by Darshan © 1995
There’s no need to strive for perfection
‘Cause you’re perfect the way you are
There’s no need to look for outside affection
‘Cause if you look inside yourself it will not be far
There’s no need to change
To meet the expectations everyone puts on you
And though that may seem strange
It’s because you’ve been programmed to
Believe in a certain way about how you live your life
And act in a way others think you should
But all that does is cause stress and strife
And affects you in ways you never thought it could
Like causing you to think your self-esteem is low
Or that you’re insecure
Then it causes you to doubt what about yourself you know
And shuts down your efforts to ever go for more
So if you think you would like to improve
Do it for you and no one else
Because you have nothing to lose
By improving yourself
So when that all becomes clear inside your mind
You’ll become the person you’ve kept hidden
And a peace within yourself you’ll find
‘Cause now you know being you isn’t forbidden
