Walking through the ocean of the steemit call
Optimistic that I'd make it big time here
Taking one step here, another step there
Blogging, curating and commenting
Was told I could make about $500SBD in one month from my work here
How that thrilled my heart
Spent days in this community
Yet very little for my posts
Voting power keeps running out on me
Low bandwidth prevents me from doing much here
But oh, what am I to do?
I hear of and see whales who whoop so much reward into their wallets from every post
I try to reach out for help, to get their attention
But the gulf between us so wide my voice can barely be heard
All I hear is the echo of my cry for help
Tears running down my face
Eyes blurry like as when the fog hugs the mountains
I felt like giving up, throw in the towel
But I heard a voice from within telling me, You can make it too
Draw not back, for in thy drawing back lies no reward
Winners never quit
And then when I peered into the distant horizon I see light
Light shinning like the noon day sun
And then hope and faith starts to well up in me
And I hear the victory song
And another voice telling me keep coming. Keep moving. Continue writing. Don’t give up posting and commenting on other’s blogs
Consistency. Dedication. Commitment.
You’re sure to get there.
In the land of the whales.
