Backhanded compliments



Ever felt so upset?
Ever felt so down?
That everything was just too hard!
That everything was just too…
Well thanks for nothing mate!
It’s because you can’t
Seem to contemplate
He’ll ever give you
A decent compliment!
Only those back handed ones
That make you feel
Less than complete!
Less than adequate!
It’s never “That’s great honey!”
It’s always “good; but you should have…!”
It’s “Why don’t you do that?”
“You should do something with that talent!”
All those backhanded compliments!
They make you feel like
You’ll never be good enough!
