Just keep on writing..
Never underestimate yourself, what you write and how you feel are the only thing that matters.
And NEVER base the greatness of your pieces on the likes that you get and on how many followers you have.
Just write for yourself not for the benefit of others.
And just like everyone says here, those who are on the top 100 are just as great as those who are at the bottom. ( newbies for that matter )
HAPPY WRITING!!!
*hugs*
Lion Out There
I’m a lion again.
I look in the mirror,
My hair is unbrushed
And my face won’t
hide the smile
that only grows.
Gone from you,
Gone from you forever.
I’m a woman again.
And these wild, technicolor eyes
see right through your beaded curtain.
The street folks think I’m
out of it
But I’m in everything.
No longer sad, no longer sad.
I’m a lion again.
Strong Facade
You kept telling yourself you're a fighter
a warrior
a soldier
gladiator
But all you have is glass as an armor
Easily broken
Cracked
Fractured
You say you don't really care
Passive
Apathetic
Emotionless
But just one word you stumble
Totter
Crumble
and Fall
You kept on ironing out
things for them
But you always just
end up
With black
burnt holes
A pull so great I'm sweaty.
You don't know how to stop
And I'll never know how to quit.
My lips are full
Of the only secrets worth keeping
If only for the thrill
Of parting them for just you.
I can feel your stare
crawl up the back of my legs.
Lemme torture you right back.
Put your hand here on my
Neck.
Softly, now
Soft soft soft.
Full and hot.
You don't know how to stop
And I'll never know how to quit.
