Critics

one insufficient word
the downfall of ones mistake
the passion for what you love, they crumble, destroy and take

they feed on the weak
deprived that just want to do good
 or bad they critique your every move or action
the pride of destroying ones life, or family
the critics are the modern day haters
they hide through newspapers and commercials
telling the world of how you could've down something better, downing the positive and
injecting the negative
the print out one image or one word
the word of indignity to society
but they are here to motivate us to do better
to prove that the critics are the obstacles life have chosen for us
so touch people with your passion and don't let critics break your spirt
