With a pinch of salt

In a world where words can burn like fire's flame,
She penned her poems with a spark so bright,
But critics came, disliking her acclaim,
Their egos scorched by her poetic light.

Different names they called her, cruel and cold,
Labelled as an outsider, so unique,
Their narrow minds, in pride, they did uphold,
Inflated with a sense of false critique.

Bullies masked in garments pure as snow,
Yet hearts so black, intentions dark as night,
Their hidden faces never dare to show,
Feeding on chaos, spreading pain and blight.

But still she writes, undaunted by their sneers,
For in her pen, the truth will calm their fears.

 

Explanation of the above poem

 

In a realm where words are both powerful and precious, she wields hers like a master craftsman, each stroke etched into the parchment with a passion that burns brighter than any flame. Her pen dances across the page, weaving together images of love and loss, hope and despair, creating a tapestry of emotion that leaves the reader both breathless and forever changed.

 

Critics, however, often mistake her artistry for arrogance, her unique voice for something to be feared. They gather in hushed circles, whispering amongst themselves, their narrow minds unable to comprehend the beauty she creates. They throw stones at her work, their words sharp as knives, all the while refusing to acknowledge the vulnerability that lies at the heart of her poetry.

 

She does not let their hurtful words deter her, for she knows that the true power of her art lies not in the accolades or the approval of others, but in its ability to reach the depths of the human soul. Her work is a beacon of hope in a world that often seems lost in darkness, a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit.

 

The bullies who hide behind their cloaks of anonymity, their poisoned pens leaving scars that run deep, are nothing more than jealous specters, their hearts cold as stone. They seek to tear her down, to stamp out the flame of her creativity, but they will never succeed. For she is fire, and fire cannot be extinguished by mere words. It can only be tempered, honed, and transformed into something even more brilliant and beautiful.

 

And so she continues to write, undaunted by their cruel words, for she knows that in the end, it is not they who will determine the value of her art, but rather the countless souls whose lives she has touched, and whose hearts she has set ablaze with the flame of her words.
