A poem I wrote not too long ago. I hope you guys enjoy reading it. Like, comment and share. This poem will be getting a revised edition down the road as well as a short story version.
Skyrim
It was what got me
Into content creation
I found my platform
And I began my journey
I walked my path
watching as others wished to watch my journey
They commented
Conversations were had
Sometimes
I helped them
Sometimes
I entertained
Sometimes
I just like to see the criticism
I wanted to get better
I wanted to keep making more content
But eventually I stepped away
I kept going back
Every once in awhile
To try again
Eventually
My world began to change
My friend once told me
I should have never walked away
I should have kept sharing my journeys
Through these digital worlds I love so much
I could have been a star
Here on this platform I chose
Now I wonder if this choice
Is a blessing in disguise
And not a mistake
As my friend asked me a question
What happened to me?
I used to be so happy
I used to have my goals
I used to have my dreams
I wonder about this question
As I begin to realize why
My happiness diminished
This platform I chose
Called Youtube
Began to change
This industry
That created these digital worlds
Began to change
This industry
That created stories for the silver screen
Began to change
There used to be a time
When Youtube
When these industries
Cared about its consumers
And creators
Now that has all changed
As corporations
And their greedy CEO’s
Wear their green shades
And only care about the paper
Painted in a green color
It causes me to ask myself a question
Am I happy?
I don’t know if I am
As I find myself reborn
I have become a double-edged sword
A part of my passion to create
Still exist as I still wish to share my adventures
In the very few digital worlds
That I still enjoy
Part of me also knows
That I will now forever carry a venom
Towards the platform
And the industries
That I once loved
Goodbye, Youtube
I hope that one day you will wake up
And hate yourself for what you chose to become
