You are not a good writer

Do not believe when people say that

You have the gift of wielding words to produce a colorful tapestry.

Painting mental pictures using letters is a unique knack and

You do not possess it.

If you think you have the skill to waste people’s time, now I am telling you —

You’re definitely right.

When you say you have the power to blow people away with your metaphors,

That’s a lie.

We all know the truth —

you are weak and boring,

that your works are nothing but scraps.

It’s never right to say

You are a brilliant author and you are worthy.

Now, read each line from bottom to top.
