When people criticize you, your behavior or your work,
You're affected only if you think that they are right.
If you find yourself fighting for your respect- work on it.
You will get to the top of your game, I assure you.
To heal an insult pricking you in the light of the day,
Rendering you speechless while wanting to play defense;
Work away into the nights, not caring for time or sweat.
The effort to clear the scars off your personal record,
Your passion to become the best and your hurting ego;
They'll light up your spirit- you will glow with pride.
