Critic Poem by ObiGod Chidi CC

They hated seeing me
Now I'm bold being me.
They said I'm not good enough
That develoed me to be tough.
They said to me, "You are going down. "
I said, "No, I'll surely rule this town. "
For saying I don't have what it takes
I become so good without mistakes.
They told me to quit
But I stayed to beat it.
They slammed the door at my face
I knocked on the next to become an ace.
They said I will fail and fell,
Lo! My success they all now tell.
Then they laughed at my pain
Why do they cry now to join in my gain?
I lived well but never listened to them.
They spoke well but never lived as me.
For with each lie they tell
I find a line in the sky to sail.
