What Steemit is to Me (a poem)

<center>What Steemit is to Me
in not too many words 
is just being free
like flying birds
Like birds can see the world from up above 
I take on a different view, writing about my stuff
I free myself of old conditions
I take on new missions
Making it public on the web
is an impotant step
it keeps me in check
I am not looking back
I am walking strait up
and no one can stop
me from being my best
**steemit is my partner in this quest**</center>

This is an entry for the  the 4th Win Steem Dollars Challenge started by @looftee. The topic fot this challenge is: What Steemit is to Me. Great choice since I wanted to write about it anyway. :) I have been writing more on steemit lately. Yesterday I wrote about [All the Help You Need](https://steemit.com/love/@sumsum/awesome-exercise-erase-your-stress-and-restart-in-just-15-minutes) to overcome any struggle. If you want to read more about my journey [stop here](https://steemit.com/blog/@sumsum/discovering-new-possibilities-or-how-to-get-moving-when-you-are-disabled) or [here](https://steemit.com/blog/@sumsum/on-my-way-to-freedom-or-how-to-train-your-bravery-muscles).

**Thank you for reading. Join the [challenge](https://steemit.com/steemit/@looftee/win-10-steem-dollars-4-what-is-steemit-to-you) and tell us, what steemit is for you.**
