That there is a pathway inward implies that there must be one outward as well. All punctures go both ways although the current may be stronger in one direction. The darkness and murkiness implies not only stagnation but filth, decay and the putrid. I have been in such waters before both literally and metaphorically. The idea of push invokes two thoughts the pushing of a floating coffin inward planting death within and the opposite the push of birth expelling the coffin fetus outward rejecting death. A poem with much meaning my friend

Darkness through the light, though the light seems dull.
Everyday for months seem dark, and getting darker.
As humans we push on, just no other way.
Onwards and upwards to you.

I\'ve read this a few times, darkness, much darkness but I\'ll pull you out of the pond and take you for a Guinness ๐

a very powerful poem. You painted an imagery that conjures feelings of confusion and darkness. Words like \"murkiest\" pond,\" and \"coffin\" suggest heaviness and stagnation, which complements the theme of struggling with one\'s thoughts, in which we all can relate. Your poem speaks to me so loudly, revolving around the complexity of the human psyche, the murkiness of thoughts and feelings, and the desire for clarity or movement in life. The imagery of water and consciousness indicates a deep connection between one\'s mental state and the external environment. Hang in there cause you hit it right on now to get through the murkiness! And you will free yourself.

Very psychological, the tendency for questioning and self blame on what one does not understand. Questioning, confusion. Certain stimuli trigger thoughts and emotions. Well written my friend the format emphasizes the message

OMG, well said.Your poem explores feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and the impact of technology on communication. The poet grapples with an overwhelming sense of dread and confusion in response to incoming messages, suggesting a broader commentary on the pressures of modern life and the psychological toll of constant connectivity.

Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem \"The Traitors\" explores themes of betrayal, secrecy, and the dynamics of loyalty among individuals. It suggests a tension between outward appearances of faithfulness and the hidden agendas that can lead to treachery.

Further into depths of nuttiness.... it\'s a place where no-one dares to approach without ear-plugs. For one lives there, we knows him. The name of the place is Glug Towers. lol.

Tristan this immediately brings visions of The Lord of the Rings. A lovely write so gothic in nature it pulls at the threads of internal fears of spiders, dark shadows, dank stone walls, dungeons and corroded iron bars. Well done my friend
