Should I give up?

Maybe I'm late here! Just a quick response; YES! NEVER GIVE UP. You're much more better than I am. Learning how to write a good poem and learning English to me is two different things I need to face in the same time while trying to write a poem.
I often overshadowed by fear if I do any mistakes in grammar. But instead, YWS ( and Its members) helped me to learn slowly and continue to motivates me to keep writing. Even it is 'bittersweet' I should learn to accept it.

Every time another review comes out I let out a deep breath.

Anytime!

Every time I see this thread the line "should I give up, or should I just keep chasing rainbows" runs through my head.

when i published my first story on this website, i thought people were going to eat it up. i was completely confident that i had a compelling, fast paced masterwork. well no one agreed. people said it was boring, dry, lacked a compelling plot/MC, and made no sense in many respects. i was torn from cloud nine and thrown in the mud. i felt terrible and also considered just forgetting about writing altogether.

a few months later, i've posted several more works and people seem to like each one i submit more than the last. my latest couple submissions have been received extremely well and i'm very glad i didn't give it up.

moral: you won't always be as bad as your first submission. the more you're seriously criticized, the more you learn about your mistakes and are able to correct them. i'll tell you, the reviews for my first story were brutal, but i'm glad they were because i learned a ton and if anyone had taken it easy on me i wouldn't have realized how much i could improve.

@horrendous Well man,I've seen your writings and you are awesome. And thank you for the encouraging words and to you too @DreamWork I posted this with a confused mind. I know that giving up on anything you love is never a solution. xP You guys are awesome and thank you!
