Maybe you’ll never write a viral hit,
abilities are missing, your prose is shit.

Maybe you ain’t got what it really takes.
You turn up every day but keep making dumb mistakes.

Like covering topics no one cares about.
Your readers are bored and it’s stressing you out.

Because all you wanna see are numbers rising,
evenings spent tapping keys, but you feel forever striving.

Like you’re just one step behind the game.
The superstars of writing, they don’t even know your name.

To them you’re just another wannabe writer,
content provider, dreams of being big but inside you’re just a liar,
a half-assed tryer, destined to sit on the shelf, never see another buyer.

Maybe you’ll never write a viral hit.
But what you gonna do, you can’t just give up or quit.

You gotta keep on trying.
Writing every day till the time of your retiring.

In the end, it’ll all be worthwhile, you’ll look back and smile.
Proud of the fact that you never gave up, cus you’re made tough,
never…
