I told her sheβs amazing,
She told me sheβs not,
I told it to her again,
“Not as amazing as you,” she replied.
Β
And I wondered,
Why does she not
Accept she truly really is
Such an amazing person?
Β
“When it comes to writing about love,
You’re the king,”
Thatβs what I told him.
“Youβre way better,” he replied.
Β
And I wondered,
Why does he not
Accept the title
He truly deserves?
Β
But then I realized,
Many a times, I do the same.
Deflecting appreciation,
Shying away from praise.
Β
You see, we grew up that way.
Where calling ourselves amazing,
Is seen as being too proud,
And deflecting it, is the norm.
Β
And many of us, along the way,
Deflecting all the appreciation,
Weβve truly forgotten,
How amazing we really are.
Β
So, please, do yourself a favor,
Embrace all the appreciations,
With head held high and bright smile.
Cause dear, you truly deserve them.
