Your Congratulations

I wouldn't have compromised as 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 so 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 scratchedout

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

Enhorabuena

No me habría comprometido tanto
Tanto de mí mismo por miedo a que me odies
Habría cantado tan fuerte que me habría roto
Me volví tan consciente de cualquier cosa exuberante

No me habría vendido a mí mismo
No habría mantenido mis ojos pegados al suelo
Si hubiera sabido que mi invisibilidad no haría una diferencia
Hubiera corrido gritando con orgullo en la parte superior de mi voz

No habría dicho que fue de hecho suerte
Estoy hablando de idealismo
Yo no habría sido tan autodepregado
No me habría acobardado por miedo a que me rascaran los ojos

No me habría cortado la comodidad
No habría fingido falta de necesidad
No habría desacreditado cada uno de sus cumplidos

Era tu aprobación lo que quería
Enhorabuena
