Acknowledgement
We all have some things we do well,
Which bring us pride and pleasure,
That sense of true accomplishment
Which no one else can measure.
For even if we only please
Ourselves, that is sufficient
To even out the ways in which
We find that we’re deficient.
It’s nice to get acknowledgement
For something we’ve completed,
But even if we don’t, there is
No need to feel defeated.
Of course, that’s what we’re meant to say,
Yet I am not deluded,
Since everyone would benefit
From praise, myself included.
