Starving Artist Mentality
It’s not about the fame or accolades
That’s a young man’s way of thinking
My flavor’s breaking down barricades
That’s why I quit the whiskey drinking
Success is my double edged sword
Staying grounded to the harsh reality
Unwilling to completely cut the cord
Protecting my starving artist mentality

Late night musing. I fear the successful lifestyle, with its snares and pitfalls. That's on my mind right now. Because, Backstage is taking off here recently. Over 50 subscribers now. The Black Sabbath episode has over 7500 views, it happened like overnight. I'm just shocked, folks. Appreciate you.

As long as you hold onto that concern about falling into the pitfalls of success, you'll see them coming & avoid them. Congratulations, DL
