An applause loud
kindled the fire.
An appreciation critical
dwindled the desire.
The spirit to perform
portraying a valid act
gets to the top form
if it goes on right track.
Presentation turns valid
with a dedicated try.
It turns invalid
if enacted with shy.
Criticisms give an impetus
healthy ones ignite the mind
while the unkind ones release a fuss
causing a depression in the hind.
Injuring the performer
with scathing remarks
make him an under performer
imposing a self restricted mark.
The applause and appreciation
create a wonderful ideologist
while the deride and degradation
destroy the beautiful ideals.
