English term or phrase: look for yourself
Women wear lipstick so people can't see them. You need a crowd so you can look for yourself. You need music so you cand hear yourself. You wear shoes so you can stand up. You get on a bus so you can look out. You eat to prove you're alive. You speak to find out what you're on about. You tell people about yourself because you want to know about them. You admit your mistakes so you can go on making mistakes in greater comfort. People stand in the street so that seagulls can fly overhead. You kick a dog so you can feel your foot. You stroke a dog so you can feel your foot another time.

tu cherches l'anonymat de la foule pour te retrouver


Explanation:
Tu écoutes de la musique pour t'entendre. Tu mets tes chaussures pour te tenir debout. Tu entres dans un bus pour observer le monde qui t'entoure.

J'ai pris toutes vos demandes à l'envers, je vous en demande pardon. Ce texte est beau, vous avez de la chance de pouvoir le traduire (je n'ai peut-être rien compris)...
