I thought

If you could only see
How much time, effort and energy
I invest.
I try and try and give 200%
Which is more than doing the best
I can.

If you could only see
How I struggle and fight
Before dawn
Late at nite
Which is so much more than doing my best
I should not.

I thought...

If you would reach out to me
Left a comment
Gave a compliment
Were content
I wouldn't be
Lost, penniless, needy.

CCC is a great community and hopes, year after year, for participants willing to help others. Of course, the members of the community understand you came here for one reason. You heard #steemit is the place where you get free #steem, free #trx and you get rich overnight.
Indeed a few do. Indeed those few do not write the greatest content. Indeed those few take the crypto and run as soon as no one pays them. Indeed you do need to know someone. A big whale or better those who work for Steemit. With their help, you will be rich overnight or at least feel rich. But I, I am not one of them and with me, many Steemians struggle for a few cents. Those cents to realize a payout. Those cents CCC or its members might give you if you follow the creed which means as much as one hands washes the other and we all invest in eachother.
