You know
You’re good
You write
You slave
You love
You think
You ponder
You wonder
Am I going to make it?
Am I going to be the one everyone reads?
Am I going to get faithful readers?
Am I going to be the best?
And you post
And you read
And you vote
And you talk
And you promote
And it’s not enough
So you sigh
So you write
So your enthusiasm diminishes
You know
You’re good
You wonder what
You’re missing
A gorgeous lead girl?
A bad boy player with a sensitive side?
A nice boyfriend who gets thrown to the side?
A best guy friend who loves her too?
A talent only the lead has?
What?
What am I missing?
What will it take for me to spread my love?
My love of writing
My love of those who love
My love of those creative ideas
That get thrown to the side
In favor of the clichés
