Criticize

When I sit and write there's no production or beat Just this voice in my head and the tap of my feet You can criticize my rhymes and make fun of my flow But the fact that you read 'em it just makes my ego grow You can tell me they're nothing and question there worth But every poem that I write is like a mental rebirth If you think you can do it better I just say "right on" Cause the second this is competition is the second I'm gone It's simply therapeutic and I use it as such You can argue, dispute it, I don't care all that much I write about my life and the things I've been through If it helps you to read them then these poems are for you So I guess I can sum up the things I'd really like to say With If you're here to bring me down I'd rather you just go away So if you're coming at me hard I think you best turn around Because I won't let you ruin the peace I have found.
