ungrateful confessions

You're great at what you do,
we don't doubt it for a second.
Our shortcoming lies in the fact
that we often take it for granted
that you already know.

Your humility is endearing,
one of your greatest attributes,
and dictates your need for encouragement,
but we often forget to give it.

Don't take our criticisms
as a sign of a job poorly done,
instead realize we know
the magnitude of your talent,
we have simply failed to remember
that stars still need support to shine.
