Did you quit?

Any of this is living
you’re breathing right?

You tried
and you failed
did you though
did you put it all in
did you?

If you died right now
would you die knowing you did
you wrote your most
you created everything
that could be plucked out
of that little brain of yours
did you?

Can you honestly say you tried
without hesitation
without writing for what would be read
for what would be rich
for what would tare you from the poverty
of this society?

Did you write
just to write
did you truly make what you could
or did you stop
based on the amount of reads
on the amount of likes
is that success?

Did you keep at it
did you make it happen
did you try
did you block yourself
because of the obsession of best
the word is objective
did you know?

So why?

Why did you succumb to the madness
that is the need for best
you quit
because why
because you need approval
why?

Thanks for reading.
