i think this is a nice poem and its power lies in its shortness. and to the author, good job sticking up for yourself! tho also remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. there will always be people who think they could improve your work/do it better themselves. you just have to except their opinion and dont let it bother you or get in your way. keep up the good work! i would be greatful for any advice you could give me on my work if u have the time to check it out. thx! :)
