Loyal Readers

I took Vocal Medium Plus,

I learned we get $6 for 1000 reads.

A measly sum—

but still,

1000 reads is not a big deal,

In Medium, I write,

and get above 2,000 reads,

every month.

It's easy, I thought.

But here on Vocal,

in three months,

I managed to get 1000 reads.

When I receive a Top Story,

which is rare,

only I get strangers,

to read my work.

otherwise, it’s just a few people.

Let me share who they are:

Marie and Mark,

Sandy and Dharr.

That’s it.

I continue here,

fueled solely by their support.

Thank you, you four.

I believe being a reader

is just as important,

as being a writer

in the arena,

of social media writing.

Thank you for showing up,

and leaving kind feedbacks.
