Stop Letting Critics Dictate Your Worth

How many times have you let a critic’s negative review or comment make you doubt yourself? How often have you held yourself back because you were afraid of being criticized or rejected?

It’s time to take a stand and reject these critical voices.

we dwell in a world
where constant judgment reigns
from the digital platform
to the workplace’s plains
critiques and negativity
they surround
tempting us to believe
that we’re not quite profound

the hour has come
declare with firm voice
we shan’t let their judgments
obscure our own choice
our worth’s not determined
by others’ decree
we must cherish our essence
set ourselves free

a protest
we’ll mount ‘gainst
these voices so bleak
they shan’t stifle our spirits
nor render us weak
we’ll stand tall for our essence
our creative birthright
defying the darkness
embracing the light
