i would love to figure out a way to have my website make money everyday. i need to get more views to make money from ads. i post poetry and photos everyday, but it doesnt seem to be enough.
if anyone has any tips on what i should be doing or working on, i would really appreciate it!🤗
T.F. Burke

.

im scratching and clawing
on a path that might not end
weary from the journey,
trying to ascend,
trials behind and before me,
what doesnt break will surely bend,
faking that im worthy,
failing to pretend,
dreams are getting smaller
harder to defend,
road is getting longer,
sores on my feet just wont mend,
the harder i try,
the more it hurts when i fall,
theres no need to cry,
since it seems to offend,
given all i got,
though i say i have more,
this pain hurts a lot,
impossible to ignore

if you enjoy my writing you can tip me on kofi! i use the money to upgrade my equipment and eventually get my own place! every dollar matters! thank you🤗 https://ko-fi.com/tfburke/goal

poetry by T.F. BURKE

When The Devil Is Desperate, a short story written by T.F. Burke. Satan inadvertantly creates a being more powerful than himself, but when he is in trouble, there is only one person he can call. https://t.co/5F96ue2TYr

My name is T.F. Burke. i play guitar, write short stories, poetry, edit photos. i enjoy tv series, documentaries, classic films, classic music. im fundraising for equipment and living expenses so i can create more. all my work is free on KOFI and my website

i dreamt i was living in a abandoned building and Justin Bieber with dreadlocks stopped over to talk about his depression and i was talking about how bar peanuts are going to start bankrupting bars thats the oddest dream ive by far

hope can be detrimental, theres so much i keep inside, fear is not intentional, so many broken pieces to hide, when change is reprehensible, you try to open your eyes but your terrified, just because you took the wheel, doesnt mean you can drive T.F. BURKE

how do i find bands and photography? the search only lets me search users

One of my dreams is to write songs for other artists. I have 6 songs im starting with and they are for sale! If you buy any of these lyrics, you own the rights! I'm using this money to upgrade my equipment so I can record music, make better videos, upgrade editing software. $200 a piece is a steal! Any future songs will be leased and licensed and it will cost a lot more! I hope you enjoy these!🤗

this is one of my favorite poems, "Vapid Vipers" by T.F. Burke

i think my reasons for not publishing yet are psychological. if im not published, there is potential for a good outcome, but if i publish, its out there and theres no more excuses. i HAVE to take the risk

and i forgive myself,
for the things i didnt know,
ive been to places baby,
that jesus wouldnt go
T.F. BURKE

will i strive when i strife?
will i push so hard?
will i see what i see?
will i have all the scars?
