"Approval Addiction"

It's said that I have an addiction
An Approval Addiction
A Will to want to please anybody and everybody
At any cost or any measure
And my addiction, well it brings about pleasure
Pleasure in the point to where everybody else is pleased
Everybody except me

Why?

Cause I have an Addiction
An Approval Addiction
I'm an addict to or at pleasing people
Do anything necessary to not hurt people
I take the will to be in discomfort
So that they can live in comfort

Why?

Because I Simply have an Addiction
An Approval Addiction
Set aside my wants and needs
So that everybody is pleased
I miss out so that they can be in

Why?

Cause of my Addiction
My Approval Addiction



~How I overcame it is a different story..Be on the look out for it~

i must say that i too have the same addiction, feels good to a certain point knowing that youve made so many people happy...then again, you have some that no matter how much you try you can never satisfy. Just remember that as with every addiction...you hit rock bottom
