I mean it definitely makes sense
It’s even obvious I would say
That people need value and meaning
To find pride in their work and play
But is this how I operate?
Yeah, I need meaning and motivation
But it doesn’t come from the display
It’s in the journey, the creation
I think I’ve reflected enough to see
I just need to be passionate in the doing
and if my paper gets shredded at the end
It’s fine, as long as I had fun pursuing
But maybe I do need that validation
And I’ve just never been proud enough
Or produced a paper deserving of praise
Maybe I’ll soon find this same motivation
But only if my work isn’t so rough
And I’m content with what I did through DukeEngage
