Does feedback liberate potential
Or do critics stifle growth?
Do those judgements make you ill
Or feel sorry for that huge Oaf?

Does the revealed unseen
Give you more clarity about you
Acting as a mirror so keen
& a revelation so true

Secure in yourself enough
Releasing water off a duck's back
Some opinions can be tough
Giving you that solar plexus whack

But if hiding from feedback
Makes you feel safe
Will you ever learn to handle cac
Or learn to defend your inner waif

Perhaps there's some ditty
You don't already know
I am you and you are me
Deep down we all love each other so

Solar plexus whack! I LOVE that and I'm going to pinch it! I know what you mean, I hate giving feedback. I only give feedback on stuff I like! I don't know if others feel the same but I tend to think poetry and writing in general is very personal and 'Who am I to criticise' someone else's work?
