For new readers: This is creative reflection on universal experiences we all navigate, not a cry for help! Hoping it sparks thoughts about your own journey with life’s daily struggles. That’s what art should do - make us feel less alone.

Matt, brother! I saw your post, and it sparked immediate joy for me!

I've been wondering if you were okay. Thanks for sharing something, bro. I've been wanting to reconnect with you. But I hope more so that you're doing well or finding some peace amidst whatever you're going through in your life. Cheers brother. Hope to hear from you soon!

Oh my, I had no idea you were going through this. I hope you don't need to be strong for much longer 🙏🏼

Nadine, I appreciate your concern! The poem isn't really about my current situation, although events over the last year inspire it - it's more about capturing those universal struggles we all face at different points. I wrote it to help people reflect on their own experiences rather than seeking sympathy. Art that makes us think about our own lives, you know? But thank you for reading and caring ❤️

Well it's very moving and poignant, I think that's what made it feel recent! And your quiet time here on the stack 😉

It's good to see you here sharing, whether new or scabbed over 🫡
