Self Praise Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Self-praise
Saturday,12th June 2021

Self-praise
always chases
from the actual goal
when you respond with words call

when you say
you are bestowed 'poet' and love to stay
with that label
it reveals your intent

why go with it?
and carried away when someone greets
feel fit and worthy
it is a well-deserved trophy

but to go all out
and talk about self in public places
you are facing
an awkward situation
as people may put you awkward position later

Let people praise
to raise your morale
but you don't go stale
as it is a first step for you to fail
