Shakespeare died a pauper
Poe died penniless and possibly rabid
H.P. Lovecraft died a raging, racist, lunatic living with his aunts
Kafka was a lonely banker that succumbed to cancer in his 40s
Sylvia Plath succumbed to suicide
I know this path isn’t easy
I know I may die penniless and alone
But my words will outlive me
The best goes on and on
