Aw! Thank you! You are too! One of my friends wrote a poem and one line said, "You need no make up to hide away, I say you should show your face to the day."
I really liked it.

I really want to believe this. But you've never met me. So whatever you say, it's empty words to me. You're just using this as a blanket compliment to everyone, but you don't know whether - or at least, WHY - it's true for me or not.
Sorry. I'm not hating. Just sad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't be sad, and I know you're not hating. Its true, I don't know you, but I am one of those people who really believes that EVERYONE has something beautiful about them.
I wrote it because I was sad and wish someone else believed that.
Feel better.

Nice thought though

This. Is. Beautiful.
Maybe I don't believe that about myself, but I see it in someone else... Everyday I think, "You're so amazing. It's no wonder you'll never notice me...". Sometimes I'm so intimidated it's unbearable.
I know some people will think I am seeking attention, but I needed to express my thoughts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think you're seeking attention at all.
I completely understand where you're coming from, and that is exactly why I wrote this.
I know its simple, but I really want to help out.
Thanks so much.

This is very kind. I'm sorry some of the comments seem so cynical, but I hope you can keep in mind how many people you've made happy with this

Thank you love,
And meh. The world can be a little cynical. But we all need to do little things to make it better.
Thanks again!

A very compassionate message, so it seems; but this is flawed. Expressing your thoughts and ideas by merely, well, writing your thought, is fine and dandy when you're conversing with another individual. But to make an assumption about the entirety of your readers, and provide them with five words that are meant to enlighten them, whilst writing something any one with elementary English skills could write, just screams "I don't have the time to express my thoughts and ideas". And if you don't have the time for that, then simply throwing these five words out there makes you look very lazy and uncaring, contrary to the writing, and possibly shows that you don't have any poetic talent, and so you can merely express your thought with, well, five words. Which ultimately makes you look like a hack, looking for attention and popularity by pleasing a wide-spread audience with a simple message. All in all, this is something that I would want my fiancee to say to me, not a total stranger. It isn't inspring, it is not unique, and it certainly isn't poetry. My suggestion is to develop a style of poetry that suits you, perhaps you will use a lot of imagery, perhaps you will describe situations, or a situation, or maybe you will rhyme metaphors. Then, take these five words, and turn it into something that is truly beautiful.

The world is full of flaws.
And if my work is a flaw, then I suppose its just another part of the world.
I doesn't have to be unique or inspiring to you, if you so wish.
Now, if you don't mind, read the other comments.
The majority liked it.
I'm sorry i'm 'uncreative'.
Take care.

One can say a brand new oil refinery several miles from an elementary school is "another part of the world", too.
The majority liked it: precisely the point I made in my comment. Unfortunately, I had hoped you weren't a hack ... and that you would take my criticism for what it is, and not an insult, which it isn't.
But it doesn't have to be helpful to you, if you so wish.
In fact, you may continue to be carried mid-high upon the hands of the down and disturbed, whom you have manipulated into providing you popularity through your simple, presumptious, and ultimately apathetic message, if you so wish.
If you know what you're doing, that's all I need to know I'm wasting my time here.
Take care!

This, I just adore. I really, really do.
I understand if you may have taken offense to the response you received, but also think about how your words might sound in the ears of another.
It might not be your intention, but that "criticism" you've shown could easily be taken as harsh and insulting, whether or not it actually was.
Though I find it hard to believe that someone would miss the fact that it was full of insults, and there was not one compliment found except the word "compassionate".
Saying that someone seems to be lazy and uncaring, lacking creativity and poetic talent, and craving nothing but attention, is what is called "rude".
The purpose of a critique is to politely suggest ways people may better themselves for their benefit in the future.
Emphasis on the word "politely".
What I saw was a "This is what I dislike about what you've done, and this is why I dislike it".
As for the Deviation, I enjoyed it.
The world needs a smile every now and then.

I was not so much offended as I was reassured of the author's intentions. Which I felt was a shame. I, of course, stand by everything I said. Maybe, with time, some truly thoughtful, inspiring, and creative work will be penned by this author. Perhaps they simply need time to explore themselves and their creativity, to find their true voice. For now, the author is using a common phrase that is meant to be restricted to individuals of importance to someone. Applying it to the whole of mankind taints its meaning, drains its power, and compliments those who are not beautiful human beings, in the socially accepted sense of the phrase. Then to call it "art", is truly what is insulting here.
But then, if the author has an extremely idealized view of life and the world, then perhaps this work is genuine in its intent. But good intent does not equal a good deed. As evidenced by history.
You call my comments rude: I call your misjudgment in return. However, you may say whatever you wish, such is your right.
In the end, I have no desire to argue. I always seek a peaceful resolution. But in a case such as this, where no one will see eye to eye, I prefer to offer my best wishes, and leave the matter to rest.
Take care.

I see where you're coming from, but maybe someone else has a totally different view on who it's actually directed to- despite the fact that it leaves no indication on specifics.
Think of yourself on the other side of the fence for a moment.
Let's say you've done only a few works at the time, and feel the urge to write something that will catch someone's eye and make them smile.
Or, maybe, you're directing it at a certain someone who doesn't think too highly of who they are- and it just happens to become popular.
Now, you're looking through comments and critiques left for you, eager to see what people thought of what you submitted.
There are many people who are affected, and the fact that they WERE makes you feel accomplished.
Some critiques leave a little note on what you should alter, and you accept it because you know you're not perfect.
Then, you come across a well-thought out critique from an intelligent person.
You see that they talk about how you need to change your writing, and you respect their opinion, but you see highly negative words that are supposed to describe you... yet you haven't done a thing to them personally.
Wouldn't you feel at least a little provoked?
By the way, this person handled the situation very calmly and maturely compared to a lot of others I've seen react to critiques, which deserves some applause.

Thank you. Thanks for those words we all need to hear once in a while.

hah, thanks. I like this way of thinking, it's like finding something good out of everything, be it bad or good.

Its great to finally realize that.
Different from what we learn in our society, right?

Totally, and when all these famous people say things like 'you're beautiful', you know they don't actually mean it, it's words being repeated over and over. It's a kind of fashion and I don't think it should be.
When you said it, however, it just seemed more humble. More realistic.

Simple words, but i'm glad you love it!
