Worst Critic
Why do people bother to
give a total stranger
their opinion?
Are they themselves
so wrapped up in
living according to
what other people think
that they believe
someone else really cares?
Everyone has an opinion,
and most of them are
just petty jealousies
manifested in a
scathing review of
something someone else
has done or made or created.
The only opinion
that should really matter
is your own...
and we are usually
our own worst critics.
