Poem: Everyone's a Critic

Too much
too little
too loud
too demure
too shabby
too perfect
too tiny
too tall.


no redeeming features
no outstanding qualities
no soft curves
no defined lines
no bright colors
no variation in hue
no heart or soul
no sense of restraint.


If everyone can't agree
on what is 'acceptable'
then why bother following
an arbitrary set of rules?
Everyone's a critic
with their own opinion
that certainly isn't a fact.
