your approval has to be enough

your approval has to be enough//the knowledge you/did what you could//all that urgency/has to die//statues crumble/awards turn green because guess what/that wasn’t//real silver. and no one will/remember/what you did. your approval has to be enough/you being proud of yourself/living with yourself/it has to be enough otherwise//you will burn/in a hell/of your own creation.
