Please don't troll, but vote and leave a comment.

Now I will write a small sample for you:

My sight became weary
It became tired and hazy
I didn't feel it's wet and rainy
I wished if I wasn't lazy
But my thoughts were full of clouds
They were full of worry
They were scared of a pawn that shouts
They were locked behind the crowds
The infamous crowds that look so scary

In all seriousness. having been writing since the late 80s. I can tell you you will always have critics. Trust me. This isn't a Muslim vs Christian vs Jew vs atheist thing. This is just an artist vs critic issue.

My advice is to be you, write what you like. Don't take it personally if others don't like it. 

I myself do get tired of the "that sucked" bullshit argument. It isn't that they are always wrong, but mostly in that they take one poem out of a long body of work and assume all of it is bad.

My opinion of this individual piece is that I do like the flow. That is all I can say about it. What I like about it is that it is you. 

One thing about my critics that I hate, isn't that they are always wrong. I have laid some duds. What you wrote just now is not a dud, but to me only. 

I like it.

The best person you can be is yourself. Keep putting yourself into your writing, you will find enough people who get it, even if they don't get everything you write.
