#amatuer - Hello Poetry

ProWritingAid, Scribophile, Critique Circle, Inkitt, Wattpad, Medium, Reedsy, you name it If any of theses polite, toothless back-patting participation trophy "circles" had anything but, people trying to make a profit off of your ideas or your willingness to share.. They aren't upfront or honest, They should tell you how oversaturated the market is, and they would tell you the truth about your work being not only unwanted but un- needed. polite, toothless back-patting circles Especially with the non-stop imflux of A.I. written slop and **** disguised as Fan fiction. Without tens and tens of thousands at least its more than incredibly difficult to get a break or to make a break of any kind. There are literally millions of well-written short stories, books, and full novels that nobody even looks at EVER ! And to pretend that it's just a fantasy land of profit or joy is wrong. 'All you gotta do is throw some words together and you're gonna have success or popularity'— that is not only misleading, but naive. To encourage competition between unskilled amateurs and professionals with support, financial backing ??? … When the pros can’t even gain traction ? I'll openly admit that I've been banned or blocked or chastised or whatever, put in time out by every single one of these, and repeatedly..... They're just liars and they just want your money. The only people they can actually help are literally like 4th grade level people who don't even know how to form a complete sentence. That's. ... the truth . I mean it's sad. And the poor little teeny boppers that go there with their angst poetry and their sadness and their wah wah wah and their wannabe build up to just kissing or making out *** tales and it's pathetic. Anyone with a developed voice or a brain will get flagged, censored, or shadow-banned for “tone.” They don’t want real writers they want " content participants" . What’s wild is, they’ll still email you like some needy ex, pretending you’re “part of the family,” because every re-login helps their engagement metrics. Yet, I still get their invites in my e-mail almost every single day email like some needy ex texting . Play make-believe in a digital daycare full of fragile egos and corporate parasites pretending to be mentors.. I go on, and within hours I'm already in the moderator's office or the bad boy room, and they're telling me, oh, we gotta take this down. The most recent verbiage was archived. I've been archived. Yeah, like they're gonna save me, preserve me for later. A rainy day. lol ..... ╭∩╮( ＾◡＾)╭∩╮

Let the sunlight illuminate Coffee slick liquored lips Tongue wags and jubilates A sermon follows every sip I'll let the sunlight pour through Maybe my eyes will turn brown too What are they but reflections Caused by the sun, caused by you.

This morning

Let the sunlight illuminate Coffee slick liquored lips Tongue wags and jubilates A sermon follows every sip I'll let the sunlight pour through Maybe my eyes will turn brown too What are they but reflections Caused by the sun, caused by you.

And soon I'll forget the color of your eyes and you'll forget mine. Isn't it funny How we become so attached to people Only to detach months if not years later? Isn't it funny How the ones we let our guard down for, Are the ones that make us build our walls higher then before? Isn't it funny How we fall in love And either remain lovers Or become Permanent strangers.

Stranger

And soon I'll forget the color of your eyes and you'll forget mine. Isn't it funny How we become so attached to people Only to detach months if not years later? Isn't it funny How the ones we let our guard down for, Are the ones that make us build our walls higher then before? Isn't it funny How we fall in love And either remain lovers Or become Permanent strangers.
