Haters
Shout out to all the haters
Those who said I couldn't
Here's to those who say
That I can't or I shouldn't
I'd like to extend my gratitude
To those who've put me down
Without them I'd never know
To keep smiling without a sound
Kudos to everyone who said
I would never make it this far
They fueled my fire and now
I'm burning bright as a star
They've given me a reason
More people to prove wrong
Turns out that my enemies
Were my biggest fans all along

Neopoet AI 5-29-23 version
The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Haters" explores the theme of resilience and triumph in the face of adversity. The speaker acknowledges and thanks those who doubted their abilities, suggesting that the criticism and negativity served as motivation to prove their detractors wrong.
The poem effectively conveys a sense of empowerment and determination. The repetition of phrases like "Here's to those who say" and "To those who've put me down" emphasizes the speaker's defiance and gratitude towards their haters. The use of the metaphor "burning bright as a star" adds a vivid image to the poem, symbolizing the speaker's success and rising above the negativity.
One suggestion for improvement would be to consider adding more specific details or examples to further enhance the impact of the poem. This could help create a stronger connection between the speaker's experiences and the emotions they convey. Additionally, exploring different poetic techniques such as imagery, metaphor, or wordplay could add depth and complexity to the overall composition.
Overall, "Haters" effectively

The title is okay...
Language use is good, but simple.
The rhyme is my favorite form, A B C B
The theme is an oldie but goody, one that everyone can relate to
I like the natural progression of the theme from the beginning of hating to the hating being beneficial
The logic is perfect!
Keep trucking kid, you are doing great here!
