SONG LYRICS

Hello From the Inside

I must have clicked a thousand times

Hello, It’s me. I was wondering if after all these articles you’d like to meet, To go over, ‘hang tight, we are processing this’, they say time is supposed to change it, But I ain't seen much curation.

Hello, can you hear me? I'm in curation jail wondering of what could’ve been, If I was crushing and going viral, I've forgotten how it feels to have so many views.

There is such a distance between us, And a million words unseen.

Hello from curation jail, I must have clicked a thousand times, To see if you took a look, After all the editing I’d done, But when I update you never, Seem to respond.

Hello from curation jail, At least I can say that I tried, To show you I'm waiting, For hang tight we’re processing this, But it doesn't change to curation, It doesn't make any difference.

Hello, how are you? It’s so typical of me to check my stats, And hope something’ changed, Does it even help when you refresh it every five seconds or so? Do your fingers ever hurt from clicking refresh?

It’s no secret, That most of us, Are running out of hope.

So hello from curation jail(curation jail) I must have clicked a thousand times (thousand times) To see if you responded, And I got curated at least once, But when I submit, You never seem to care.

Hello from curation jail, I'm begging editors to please, After adding me to their publication, Go ahead and publish my articles, At least once.

Hello from curation jail, It’s just me and my fellow writers, We must have clicked refresh a thousand times, To check if curation had happened.

But it doesn’t matter, All we see is hang tight.

Oooh, we are soo tired Oooh, we are soo tired Oooh, we are soo tired

Hello from curation jail, We clicked refresh a thousand times, To check if curation had happened, But all we see is hang tight, We are processing this.

Thanks to Susan Brearley for the writing prompt.

Join me in curation jail. We will whine about the ‘hang tight’ message together.

As always thanks for reading. Keep the comments and corrections coming.
