Praise
Write yourself a letter
make yourself feel better
all of your imagined flaws
give them a round of applause
Put down all your good deeds
when you helped someone in need
give yourself a pat on the back
it will help when you've veered of track
Secrete it in a special place
when the day or yourself you can't face
replace tears with a smile
if only for a little while
Self-praise is not always wrong
we can keep our self-esteem strong
life will give us enough knocks
whatever you do give it socks
