I will trade a thought for a penny if my rates aren't flat.
How many writers will profit from work when they go to bat?
You see, dinner plans, worries, and stories stand hand-in-hand.
Which idea does a saturated market deem grand?
Would you pay for your mother's sweet lemonade?
Even when you're picking fruit under the same tree's shade?
How do you decide upon the value of your thoughts?
Consumers have no problem dictating lots.
Stumbling upon relevance may be tricky; it is a concern.
Everyone has a name, but credit's often hard to earn.
Pathways become slippery when standing atop steep uncertainty.
Audiences will be wary when dictating pay proportionally.
Make yourself a title holding prominence in place.
People prefer pennies to dollars when an author has no face.
If dedication and perseverance grace your lifetime, then try, try, try.
Hope cannot guarantee success but helps through long hours when we struggle to get by.
