A bald man in gothic formal attire leans back in pain, clutching his lower back with a grimace. He stands at a candlelit writing desk covered in scattered papers, skulls, and an hourglass. Rain pours outside the window, where a gothic emblem glows faintly. The room is lined with bookshelves and drenched in dramatic, warm-toned shadows.

Hello to all my poetic friends out there. I am just putting this out there for everyone to know that, in my latest stage of youth, I pulled my back out miserably. 🤣😭 As such, I am behind on replying to comments on my poem(s). 😅 So, I just thought I would put this out there as an explanation so people don’t think I’m flaking off or ghosting. Thank you for reading, engaging, and understanding. 🖤🕯️🦴🙏

You have to know the darkness to understand the light.
Keep it real. Keep it raw.
