#14 of 2021 Mental Health Crisis

I never feel them, even though I wish I could.

Compliments are bouncing off,  
Compliments, unheard,  
Compliments that shake our mind  
and threaten our whole world.

Because we cannot see ourselves,  
Because we cannot laugh,  
We never hear our compliments;  
We discard them like chaff.

But one day soon, we'll feel them all.  
But one day soon, we'll see.  
And one day soon when that day comes  
we'll cry for victory.
