You got this, my friend. Well written. Your poem revolves around the experience of navigating through a physical or metaphorical journey, emphasizing the struggle for perseverance and the importance of taking one step at a time. The poet expresses a sense of determination and hope, even in the face of challenges.

Your enemy will kill you from afar.
Your friends will kill you from within.
Strange how It\'s always been this way.

Broken open, ground pushed into forms made from what was made to dispose of waste. Now trapped and exposed all at once we find what our enemies think. Wow! Such raw views of psychological vulnerability. Well done my friend

A strong feeling of hurt and pain. It speaks to my heart as I know this feeling so well today.❤️Your revolves around feelings of conflict, betrayal, and the anticipation of judgment. It delves into the complex relationship between self-perception and the perceptions held by others, particularly adversaries. My best friend so betrayed me. Hang in there, my friend.💕🌹💕

I found this poem very thought provoking. It brought to mind my unspoken thought:
We reside in a world which offers large dose of freedom: freedom to choose conformance or ruin.

Well said. Your poem explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the consequences of seeking acceptance in a rigidly defined moral or spiritual space. It suggests that entry into a ‘heavenly’ realm may require compromising one\'s integrity or identity.

Well I am sure Tristan that many may take this different but to me it is a remark about what it is to be American these days. With a bill pending to eliminate all dual citizenships (although unconstitutional what else is new) swearing one\'s allegiance to the fatherland sounds all too familiar to an old guy like me. Adolph has been living with Elvis at site 51 I guess.

Beautifully, and courageously (!) put, Tristan. A friend of mine often emphasizes courage as the main ingredient in the brew. As your poem says (to me, anyways), it\'s already naturally present within us, just waiting to be released.

Know that feeling Tristan, Don’t possess a spiritual laxative. Too tired at this stage in the life cycle to do much about it. My only recourse is to stir others in the hope they may find a formula which will clear the blockage in them.

This feels like the people in power who hold you captive whilst making decisions that affect only you.
Usually irritable pen pushers with too much time on their hands.

Well said, my friend. Your poem revolves around the struggle with internal conflict and emotional turmoil. The poet expresses a sense of frustration and stagnation, as their courage feels \"betrayed\" and \"constipated.\" is the matter focuses on the emotional burdens that must be endured, highlighting the interplay between internal feelings and external appearances, particularly with the mention of \"gray,\" which may symbolize weariness or aging.

Tristan, your poem got me thinking again about the \"power law.\" For example, if we take all the people in the world who play soccer and then organize them into a pyramid, with the different skill levels represented at each level, the number of people who are not very good at the game massively outnumbers those who are seriously good at it. I think the same thing roughly applies for spirituality. Or, in other words, awareness (of self, of society etc). So, society is inevitably the way it is. If what I`m saying is true, then I wonder why is there a power law? I have some ideas on that too.
Anyways, I could be well off the mark with these thoughts!

I had to read this three times. Well said. My friend. Your poem conveys a sense of despair and resignation regarding the state of society, suggesting that the chaos and violence we experience are the results of our own actions and desires. The poet implies that humanity has brought upon itself a form of authoritarianism and suffering, with an acknowledgment that divine intervention is absent.
