My sixteenth steemit poem: 'KIDS OF STEEM' [modern poetry]steemCreated with Sketch.

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

Do we all have the same chances on steemit? Yes we do. Dedicated to the sceptics, the impatient ones and the self-doubters: here is the light to the end of your tunnel :-)

Kids of steem 

The faithless among us might believe
that there is no way to achieve
attention on an equal way
and that minnows are going astray,
cause chances on the blockchain seem
not to be for all kids of steem. 

This is a mirror of life
a place of give and take
where people strive
for a piece of the cake. 

Expectations are high
and patience is low.
That is actually why
envy appears though. 

But angor is for the weak -
a creativity´s leak.
Like a kid trying to compete
stamping desperately his feet. 

A kid torn
between jealousy and
the refusal to understand
that no star has ever been born.  

It´s not even like Forrest´s chocolate box though
since the chances to outstandingly grow
here don´t depend on accident
but on the efforts to be spent. 

There is no need
to define yourself by fear
since it will only lead
to making you disappear. 

Your story´s unique
you just need to leak
it to us,
thus
don´t hide
and fill these lines with pride. 

Talent is overrated, no doubt.
There is just your will
needed to thrill
the crowd. 

Every tunnel has a gleem
at its end
which is meant
to be yours, kid of steem. 


These lines have been inspired by the voices who don´t believe in the equality of opportunity in this network. I do believe in it. You don´t need to be a talented writer to have an opinion. You don´t need to be an experienced journalist to spread a news. You don´t need to be a comedian to have humor. Just be yourself and let us participate. 


Wish you all a nice day, Steemians!
Cheers,
Marly -

I like your poem and I agree with the message! I think there is some randomness in the post rewards, at least when a person first gets here. But I think that those who stick around and work on their writing here are likely to eventually get noticed. And the best attitude, in my opinion, is to come here to get your thoughts out into the world permanently on the blockchain, and don't think about the rewards. Writing can be its own reward.

I couldn´t agree more! Sometimes giving is even better than receiving :-)
Thanks for your nice comment @kenny-crane!

Again AMAZING!!! Totally agree @surfermarly. If you share you have the chance to achieve that 'Equality'... if you don't, you'll never know!!! Me ha encantado :)

Muchas gracias @wartrapa!!! Exactly - it´s all about trying :-)
