There's more to life, I promise

top story is a scam

There's nothing for you when you receive a title.

Having been to the top, I'm coming down to let you know that there is no crown.

There is no crowd to motivate you to keep going.

Your audience is you,

End of story.

✌️

When you get to the top tier, you think you made it.

When you've only just begun to be

Someone who can say I put in the time.

I look at myself now and where I am

I could never have imagined I would be writing every day.

I'm a fucking writer.

If nothing I say gets the top story again

Well, that would be okay.

the world is so much more than this website, and these people

Who I do respect and admire.

✌️

Writing is about your craft and how you'd give anything to never give it up in the name of others.

I was blind, I used to think, if my story didn't take

It wasn't good.

The truth of the matter is I don't care what anyone thinks; I write for me.

I'm sure you can all see,

That I'm a fucking writer, I don't need the accolades.

The pages are enough

When you've been to the top,

You realize there is room for everyone.
