I get the image of an outclassed boxer to proud to give in being pummeled in a corner refusing to submit. Beaten broken humiliated but never surrendering. great images and an appropriate title as well. Slowly and gruesomely worn down. In life\'s fight we may all feel like this at times

Your poem portrays a compelling narrative of struggle, perseverance, and eventual defeat. The language is rich and dense, creating an atmosphere of tension and impending doom. The inevitable toll of relentless pressure is quite haunting/daunting. Its rich language and vivid imagery create a haunting and memorable experience 👍🕊️

Regrets echo in this poem time can not be reset and life goes on. There are things that can not be made good. A sound of lament in this poem that carries a shadow and a haunting feeling for we all have our own shadows that are heavy to carry

This is so masterfully evocative; a visceral and haunting portrayal of torment and self-confrontation. It offers a powerful exploration of the human experience of intense suffering and the existential reflections it can provoke. 👍🏻🕊

Oh my, how extraordinary your imagery with an emotional attachment that can mean so many things, grief of some sort, no one can write like this unless they have experienced such. I truly hope you are well dear Dan. Kudos on this epic write. 🌹

With the dawn of this New Year, I too feel the cold you describe so well, as if the earth has opened a huge fissure and swallowed everything that was hopeful and good. We may go backwards before we can once again go forwards, but \"the future waits for no one\", and we have proven that time and time again as we bounce back. A very thought provoking write my friend, and very well done.

A heavy write. Our world is a cold place. My country feels a cold place at the moment and our pensioners are cold as their energy allowance has been cut. Politics stinks in my opinion. Taking off the poorest people is a government choice.

A well written piece about how cold and callous our world has become, that greed above all else seems to matter and now we let the powerful control our minds as well, enjoyed the read

Cold words for a cold society. We have a self destructive nature to ourselves as a species. Greed a major driving force. Powerful and with dark shadows this poem is forebodiing

The question of all is whether one can find or be better and the possability of good to come. Loved it.

Every question is an answer undiscovered. I love this poem because it asks the questions. Most times, as I see it, the question is more important than the answer we seek, and often times those questions may lead us to answers we weren\'t anticipating. This, my friend, is a beautiful and well written poem. Well done. 👏

A poem poignantly explores the tension between hope and despair. The questions, \"Is there still light beneath the shadow, are there answers undiscovered?\" express a longing for reassurance and the possibility of a brighter future. It’s final lines, \"Until I grasp the ring I will likely never know,\" emphasize the need to seize opportunities and embrace the unknown. It captures the courage to continue striving for better days, despite the uncertainties. Hard not to be inspired by it! 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

Got myself into a couple of scrapes like this, in my time. And it’s not the best space to be in. Save one thing, you have been more articulate with it than I have ever been. Your poem speaks volumes. 🙏🏻🕊

I believe it\'s always better to be alone than in the wrong company, love hurts it also brings us joy and companionship however if the friendship before love isn\'t mutual then it\'s one sided and a waste of your time. Moving on yes, onto better things with those who truly find everything in you that is there to be loved. 🌹 My favourite subject of course is love. 🌹 I have a poem on here called My Nevada probably on my last page, I wrote it many years after I left someone I loved with all my heart, he just wasn\'t a good man. In Italy we say prosciutto nel occhi (ham in your eyes) translated to blinded by love. A wonderful poem.
