You...

You are my validation.
I need your affirmation.
Of my existence.
That I should be who I am.

You are my deliverance.
I need your approval.
Of my being.
That am doing the right thing.

You are my hope.
I need your faith.
Of what I'm able.
That I can achieve destiny.

Waow! I like the assertiveness and the unapologetic tone! It augurs an author with a clout or at least character! Yes, there are instances in our lives where we need the other one to make the moment complete and significant. Yes, we are still somehow imperfect or not achieved without that other one......

I hope you were looking in the mirror when you wrote this! LOL. We humans often rely on others for our "validation"...we feel we need a partner to show we are normal, functioning, accepted beings. I am guilty of such beliefs at times in my life.
"I need your faith." for some reason this line really affected me... I need "YOUR faith", in me ? In God/religion? In life? A great line, left open ended for the reader to interpret as they will. Your writing style is unique and fresh ... the sentences all ending with periods lends a finality to your thoughts.

Really nice.

Oh, l could go on for hours about this subject.
it's a very... deep, and for me, frustrating overwhelming one - how dyou tell the difference between being Dependant on someone, and simply valuing their opinion? how dyou find the medium between submission for your own happiness, and giving up your soul?
The way you expressed this - the simplicity of each line, the way you broke it down into the 3 main parts, ending with destiny - is something l found worked quite well.

oh. erm.
That am doing the right thing.
- that should be "i am" l think?
as for the concept...3 phases you expressed here, each very important & influential.
very much enjoyed

depending that much on someone or something. I wonder what you really mean this piece to be about. a lover, a parent, a god? There is something about the phrasing that I really like. I would really like to read more of your work. I think the piece is really clean and written so smoothly.
thanks so much for sharing.

peace to you,
