Hello, followers or casual passerby!

I hope that you and those whom you care about are safe and well!

You can call me Raphael (Raphi) or Akiva - he/they. I am 28 years old. My writing sometimes delves into a lot of dark subject matter, but I am actually an optimist. I believe in the inherent good in people. Writing is very therapeutic - hopefully, the poems can be a source of good.

I have wanted to publish and share my writings; however, I have also been scared to share. I am trying to work on overcoming my fear of sharing my writing because I think sharing will help me hone my skills. I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to look around and read and vote and comment on my work. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and stay safe and well! Keep on being awesome!
