Life is not a competition

This is a serious poetry forum not a "love-in". Post here for more detailed, constructive criticism.

Give me another cliché,
help me feel validated,
underrated, understated.
Such a competition,
this rat raced, fat faced world of yours.
Another critic,
insecurities masked behind 'gratifying' sarcasm.
YES! You found a weakness! A flaw!
Your chance to shine!
Use your cutthroat wit,
dominate yet another verbal battle.
And so you arise as victor.
Enjoy your prize.
would you like another cliché?

james, this sounds great. By its own admission it can't be critiqued.
