The line “beaten down yet hopeful” stuck with me because it’s so true to life. Sometimes in the midsts of the hardest challenges we find the glimmer of hope to hold onto, particularly if we’re starting again. I love how evocative this poem is. Thanks for sharing!
Your hope has to reach the end even when it seems nothing has come off it. That's when it becomes a virtue. I actually talked a bit on this in The Last Good Man
Your line : 'the burden of going alone' struck me.
Maybe because the reality of this life is that we ARE alone.
And the beauty of this life is that we are alone, TOGETHER.✨💙
“We're all alone in this together”
Alone - together. x
🙏✨🥰
This was very beautiful and strong, I loved it ! ✊💛
Thank you for reading
The unnoticed work of survival...we are alone but together. Well said in verse. I like it. You are my 338th bedtime story.
Thank you, I have entries for spot 339-355 if you'd take a look
You made me laugh right out loud...almost lost my coffee. Thx for that :)
You're welcome🤣 what's a day without laughter
Impressive!

Resilience is so key to life cause it's a school of hard knocks. I'm glad it spoke to you
“A feather's weight feels heavy as stone,
I guess that's the burden of going alone” - Wow that is powerful!
Thank you! Life is really better in conjunction but it takes a lot to break your own walls down and extend a hand to receive and give help.
I hope it's something we can all learn
Loved the phrasing and rhythm of this piece. Great work ❤️
Grateful for that. I love letting the rhythm drive the point home.
Wow! When you said you wrote poetry, I wasn't sure what to expect, but definitely not something so sharp and true.
Thank you! I'm glad it connected with you
“Beaten down, yet still striving” this is beautiful.
Thank you! That's the human nature. The pure resilience to grit your teeth and press for an outcome.

That's a beautiful story. A little shift in perspective can help you endure
