We are never truly honest with our lies,

We paint hope to the minds of lazy thinkers,making them believe that their so called masterpieces are actually complete.

We boost them up, we cheer them on. We encourage the dust they produce to endless dawn.


We never tell them, oh you can improve here,instead we nurture our fear,fear of hurting their feelings by telling them the truth. 

But isn't that a part of the growth we all need to contribute?


They return so eagerly excited and are on a peak,that the art they write or produce is indeed unique.

Critiqued by the best of writers, how could anyone judge. But if only the truth could give them a hug.

Let them see that there is much work to be done,to express and create is more than just fun.

It's channeling your soul,repositioning the minds of those who don't understand your art.

Changing lives,mending broken parts.

So be honest, be true,

Don't just say,it sounds good,

Push a writer or artist to doing better than they could.

By simply telling them the truth.

  • I understand your point but we don't know how a person will take it. It can inspire them to improve or stop writing altogether. The truth is who are we to judge a writer's writings. Is a writing deemed good on how well it is written? Does a writing have to follow specified guidelines of writing? Then if so, how can a writer feel free to fully express themselves without fear of criticism. If a writer wishes to improve then they will see for themselves to improve. The best writers weren't always the greatest. They're work was praised not on how well it was written but on the content of their work. Sorry if this is super long. Lol. Great job btw.

    I’m not sure where you’re Idea comes from-we are not critics we are for tue most part amateur Writes who have a red and passion fo writing There are writers in our community who have been published or intend to be I write what is feel and for me it is real If people do not like it- that’s ok lm writing for me I would not have a problem giving my opinion in comments but I will not advise anyone about the technical aspects Of writing I’ve been writing for 30 years and still learning but have no desire to publish You may want to get professional advice from a qualified pro You’ll find most of the people hear are honest and happy to share and help Good Luck 🦋🦋🦋

    therefore i was only stating the fact that when people come to you with their pieces dont just be vague and say is good and not give them a proper feed back one that they can use to better their writing even if the work is good ,share ways they could write and help them to get even more creative...and if the piece is not good be honest and be helpful not malicious .
