"Give Yourself Props, And Notice"

There long ago was soul,

Daring  and bold,

Who shifted more weight than was told.

They made available themselves props

For the battles they immobilized  and noticed

Their power taking hold.

Give yourself props, don't delay 

You've  achieved  every step of your way.

When you delay and take heed

You'll see your own bull's eye

Has carried you day after day.

"Give yourself props, don't be reserved-

You endured what they swore  you'd deny.

When you stop and take note of the strife you

Out-wrote

You'll see you're the reason you fly

Give yourself props- funny thing

How we clap for the minuscule of wins.

But the truth that you miss is you've

Interacted all this-

With grace that deserves violins.
