Keep Singing Your Own Praises

Keep singing your own praises you surely may as well
For to even those who care to listen to you 'twould seem you cannot sell
Your notion of self achievement they smile at you and say
You've done well for yourself mate greatness from you not far away,
Your sense of yourself as one of life's successes in your presence they embrace
But what they say of you behind your back they will not say to your face
They do not wish to hurt your feelings though your false sense of greatness grows
The ego can be a strange one that's life I do suppose,
Though success from you seems distant and far up the steep hill
If you do not sing your own praises there is none other who will
Even tell of your existence to the bigger World out there
We can be such selfish beings and for our own selves only care
So keep on singing your own praises heaping praise upon your name
For most others not unlike you too are seeking their own fame.
