No matter how often
I come to Opuss, it seems,
All I do is stare
At the composing screen
I fill it up with stories
Just to pass the time
Sometimes I write poems
That barley even rhyme
But then I look at my feed
And what do I see?
A host of brilliant authors
More creative that me
So I delete my hard work
I think "there's no need
"to publish a story
That never gets seen"
I close the Opuss app
My mind full up with hate
It seems I'll forever be
Rank seven-one-eight

Likes video games, comedy, rage comics and anything that makes me think. I'm also the only one in my school on Opuss :]
Much to my dismay I find I won't be writing much today. So many things to do and say. I've just had a really bad day. I really can't think. My mind's on the blink. And my writing's beginning to stink.
Poor ol'@Stablish is racking his brains for a poem for me to write. He keeps on suggesting things but the idea isnt right. He's come up with all sorts of ideas but each are a blank.
Aww don't feel bitter. Keep writing. I'm going to repost this as its a good poem. I've had a read of your stories and there good too. But don't give up. 👍😃👏
Oh don't delete! I forgot songs a few times and it's horrible knowing they just vanished. Keep your work, even if it's just for you to look back on. I enjoyed your poem and the other opusses I read. I haven't read any of your stories yet but I will in a little while 😊
Don't do that! There are always people better or more popular. Doesn't take the value away from what you do.
@wolfie I agree! I never look at my rank, I'm just happy to write and glad to be a part of this lovely place with all the great people I've come across 😃 btw, you've gone up a spot on the rank!!!!!!!! (717!) 😉 x
Don't do it!! Just stick at it. You wanna write? Whatever whenever however you like. Take your time, and never regret what you write. Don't give up! 👍😊
Jeez thanks guys. I wasn't expecting such a warm response so fast! Don't you worry I'll keep on writing
@MrsS exactly. Just being a part of the community here is. Joy. I learn so much. @murdoc103 that's what you need to focus on... Ranking won't change the amount we see or comment on your pieces :-) just get writing... We're listening!!
@murdoc103 don't delete your posts, it's a great way to look back on your mental state at that given time. Kinda like when you're old and look at your old school books and think, geeesh did I actually wrote that or wow I forgot all about that ect ect ect. Don't ever feel like you're not good enough or an of that stuff, write cos you like/want and enjoy it, then others will too. Happy days 👍
Yes I echo everything above!!! Don't delete your posts it makes me sad!! Don't ever give up writing!! It is often for yourself first before anyone else - I'll be looking forward to reading more of your work!! 💚💚💚
Keep all your work Hun...I'm 40 now...did I say that out loud lol...anyway I've got diaries and poems that I wrote when I was about 15... And I cringe when I read them as I was in a bad place...but I keep them...they shape you...and you can see how your writing has developed...write for you and you alone...not for who is going to read it or what rank you are...just write what's inside my sweet...good luck💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
