Validation

People in the past
Have made fun of me
For going to bed early
For not drinking a lot
For leaving the party early
For paying bills weeks
Before they're due
For not liking the clubs
For not being like them
And I've always thought it was strange
That some practices
Are considered superior
To another
When in actuality
It's all the same
And people just want
To validate themselves
By invalidating you
