Being an Indie Writer

I sit here in the darkness,
My fingers on the keys,
I type and type and type,
But no one seems to see.

I write my heart out,
I pour my soul into each word,
But it’s like I’m shouting
Into a void unheard.

I know I’m not the only one,
There are so many indie writers out there,
All struggling to be heard,
All fighting for a chance.

But I’m not giving up,
I’ll keep writing until my fingers bleed,
I’ll keep fighting until my voice is heard,
I’ll keep believing that one day,

Someone will read my work,
And they’ll love it as much as I do.
