Engagement
The catchphrase of promotion
Why
Not everyone
Wants to be an open participator
Some like to be observers
I’m learning not to be concerned
About it
If I touch even one person’s heart
Mind
Soul
If I lift even one person’s spirits
If I make even one person
Feel not so all alone
And if that one person chooses
To keep their thoughts
To themselves
I am still blessed
By blessing someone else
Engagement happens
Even when acknowledgment
Is not exchanged
Do not let promoters convince you
That you have to have
Engagement to be successful
Convince yourself
To create whatever you desire
Without concern for comments
Or even ever knowing
Whether someone was
Positively impacted
By your creation
Express your truth
Without flavoring it
Toward promotion
Engagement will happen
Even if it is unspoken
