Young Joe

He is quite a talented fellow the emerging young artist Joe
But from his art he will never become wealthy and famous since he is his own greatest foe
He happens to be his own worst critic one might say he drags himself down
On this age of big egos and self promotion hardly the recipe for renown
The lacking in self confidence not into self promotion in life must struggle all of the way
In this the age of self promotion humility it does not pay
Young Joe is his own greatest critic to himself he is not a friend
The arrogant in life do better of that why even pretend
You got to have heaps of self confidence or in life you will not succeed
To be your own greatest critic is to your disadvantage indeed
Those who know of art say he is a good artist but his attitude is all wrong
Humility and lack of self confidence amongst the successful does not belong
Young Joe is a talented artist twenty two years on his birthday
But his greatest barrier to success is of self he does not have good to say.
