We put out an album and no one cares.

Sure it may get a few downloads, but that’s about it.

Having put so much time, energy and money…how much money did we spend again? We collapse our shoulders and wallow.

We are failures.

We hear a voice say, “give up”.

We hear it grow louder with each failed mixtape.

When will we get our big break?

Other people make it seem so easy.

We copy.

We scheme.

We fail again.

Why do we put ourselves through this torture?

Oh here comes another lyric.

Another song idea.

Another guitar riff.

Another melody.

Bassline.

Drum pattern.

Another song.

Another piece of art.

That’s why we do it.

We are artists. We create.
