Firstly, I read your poem...very nice indeed; you can hear your voice in it and it is a sincere one. Second, I hear exactly what you are saying. I'm fairly new on here and sometimes get sucked into a black hole of despair (ok that's way too dark, but you get what I mean). I too see the quality of writing and specific intelligence on here and wonder how to 'compete'. Although this is a great platform and great community, it is still seeped in capitalistic competition....BUT the great thing is, there is plenty to go around!! So in a way, it is no competition at all. So keep writing from the heart; sincerity breeds creativity. And third, I love your last bit, "No "Follow me' etc!!
Cheers! ( and I told you, I'd remember your name :)
