Looove this!!! Something I'm sure most of us can relate to. Very creative and I love the title. Great job :)

THIS IS EPIC.

[Wild Willow Blue]

I can really relate. I've done this so many times. In all aspects of my life. Doubt; she is a part of every decision, she plays the main role in fact. The question is whether or not you have the strength to suppress her until next time. Great, wonderful, read.

Nice job. Everyone has that moment of doubt and you did well expressing it.

[Lonesome Traveler]

I think alot of people can relate to this. That feeling of "whats the point?", and does it matter, and then that ever lingering thought that in fact you are beyond useless at this writing lark! Then, for a while at least, you remember why. It keeps you sane, keeps you safe from yourself. It picks you up at your lowest ebb and drags you along.

Oh my gosh, Tabitha I have felt this way so many times before. I am sure a lot of others have felt this way before too. It's a difficult feeling to have when you're serious about writing and that's your life's passion and desire--to write! I know that some people on here all that they do is send read requests and never review yours back in return. It sucks and I guess that they don't realize that they're doing that either. They're some loyal people on here though, I must admit. I thank them all of the time for reading and reviewing my work. I have a lot of read requests. I have close to 2,000 actually! I'm like oh my goodness! Then I take a good glance at my reviews to me and I barely have any. I start to question myself and my work. Am I really any good? Have I lost that spark that everyone used to die for not too long ago? It's questions writers hate to ask especially when they really and truly love to write. We are too scared to delete our accounts because after all of the hard work and the wonderful friends we have met. It's too valuable to lose! I love how this is so relatable and real. Great job, Tabitha! :)

The seventh line- *So many read request (shouldn't there be an 's' because you probably have more than one?)

twenty ninth line- to much to lose (shoule be *too much to lose)

Side note: Outstanding! :)

Ashley Rivers-Dream BIG and you'll win BIG ;)

Good job

[Tabitha t]

thanks!

Good poem. I think everyone feels this way from time to time. And not just writing. Tabitha, I can't tell you how many gallery shows I have had where people came in and told me how much they just LOVE my work and then I don't sell a single thing. There are plenty of places in the area where I could have a show if I wanted, but I think, "Why bother? Why put forth the effort?"

Sorry... this is supposed to be your rant, not mine. Keep writing.

[Tabitha t]

I enjoy hearing about others experiences so anytime you want to rant. type where I will see! thanks for the review!

[Silhouette]

Wow, really cool write, very suspenseful :)

[KAOlmsted]

I'm so glad you didn't do it ;-) But I am with you on the frustration of this place...sometimes I'm like, Really? Why am I here? *laugh* Mostly I love it, though. Meanwhile, everything I write is saved to my documents; the only thing I would regret losing if I ever deleted my account (god forbid) would be some of the reviews...there are some that stick with you, yeah? Shameless self-promotion, Tabitha, that is the name of the game here at the cafe :-D

[Tabitha t]

oh so true! you have to be ruthless to get to the top!

[KAOlmsted]

Yes! RR the s**t out of everybody *laugh*
