For Readers, Who Make Me Feel Seen
Let' improve our support to writers
I write and publish,
sharing my knowledge,
putting time and effort
which I sneak out from parenting
and managing household chores.
It's not cakewalk or cup of tea,
but a decision, with a purpose.
I desire reads, and sure cents,
but are there many supporters?
Nope, you already know,
how unseen it feels.
I am sure you have similar goals,
to be acknowledged,
to earn a few bucks,
writing money is sacred,
yet we don't do onto others,
what we want for self.
But there are kind souls
who know how to support.
They are necessary fuels
which let my writing vehicle
keep moving.
I will read as many articles as I can,
written by strangers, if the topics resonate,
But while reading those who engage,
I will feel tenderness, have a smile
Can you blame me?
If you want, I can also shape this into:
• a free-verse poem
• a Medium reflection
• a short manifesto for writers
• or a softer, more lyrical version
Just tell me the direction.

I'm with Mother Combs and you must write what you feel and want to whether to teach or just for enjoyment and sharing.
It can be disheartening when others don't reciprocate reads. I try to read as many as I can, but I've been so busy lately
Did you draw that picture?? I love it!! Sometimes we all feel the same. It would be nice if everyone did onto others as you mentioned. 💕
Lol the last 6 lines sounds lile what ChatGPT would say. Anyway, I admire you so much because you're a working woman, you have 2 kids to take care of, you do all the chores, and you still find time to write and make videos daily
