@ebitularmbert Amazing work! this poem reminds me so much of my younger days.. way back in highschool days I used to be part of our school paper, we write poems, feature stories and news. I guess my confidence way back then were soaring high. But now I started to become very insecure with my writings. This is one of my reasons why I decided to join Steemit, thinking its a way for me to start practicing in a community who encourages quality work.

Sure enough. Steemit is an open platform where you have the freedom to write as you wish, and to share your work with out being judged. As a budding Poet/writer, such freedom allows to learn without fear, and to ultimately improve.
Moreover you are paid in the process! There is no greater incentive than that. I started very much like you. In my University, I edited the University Newsletter, and also ran a student's paper. basically my life was about poems and stories....and there i had audience.
After University however, came the insecurities, the financial requirements to advance in the writing career....Outside i was a novice. and i had no audience. The audience there was, was more familiar with the status quo already established. And would judge my works against theirs. How could i succeed?
But then came along Steemit. A ready audience. Now it is up to me to make my name. I am giving all the effort possible.
And i am beginning to make headway. You too will, soon enough. Just get to writing, and writing and sharing and engaging.
Thanks @aiza-juan-aweb
I am looking forward to sharing in your works here at steemit.
