why do people have to be so bitter
why do people have to pull me down
why do people show such hatred
why do comments make me frown
why do people have to terrorize
why do people have to be so mean
why do people have to wear me out
why do comments make me scream
why do people have to abuse me
why do people have to criticize
why do people have to be so ugly
why do comments make me cry
i promised myself that it wouldn't bother me
but deep down inside i admit it does...a lot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is written for anyone who writes
from the heart, and their heartfelt
expressions are ripped up by heart-
less critics...shame on you...do you
have nothing better to do than make
someone feel worthless??

I thank you for writing this, I thought it was only me who felt that way. And unfortunately, my letter, is more of an Autobiography than most would admit. Thank you for your kindness, and your very kind words. Take care ((hugs)) back!
Karla,,You are not only a sweet person you are a wonderful sister...Am I my sister's keeper? Hell YES,,,and the jerk that hurt sis, can just KMA,,I don't know why they spend so much time and energy tearing people down when they need to be spending their time building themselves up,,for they need all the help they can get! Keep writing! Karla and Karen too,,,Lisa

Sweet Lady, you are talented, keep writing what feels good and right to you and be assured within yourself that it doesn't matter what some unjust critic might have to say about the words that come from your heart. It will always sting when we are the target of someone's malice, but don't let it keep you from going on and being "You" in your work.

Shame on them is right! Keep writing Karla! Just look at all the good folks on your side?
Hi Karla
I understand Karen's position. One of the difficult realities of being an artist is intimate exposure to a casual roll of perspective. I do appreciate the dynamic tension created in relationships by the unfolding interplay tho. I do hope Karen realizes that any artisitic effort that inspires another artist has won the highest of acolades. Vicky
What happened????? Did someone give you bad critique????? Just delete them if you think they're spamming you. That's one good thing about authorsden is that we control our own posts. No one else does.
Please don't let it bother you too much. Everything is in your own hands, you are in control.
