What a powerful message my friend. I too have reached the age that I am withdrawing not what I put in but my children\'s contributions. Mine long gone to support my parents. And where did that go? Government mismanagement and theft, lies signed in IOU\'s for other government projects that good or bad kept taxes lower and politicians in office. We can not complain for we elected them but to cut out the needy because of our disgruntled desire to keep more is wrong as the poem points out. The last one holding the stone will be the loser unless something better is adopted. A lovely write my friend and a fave

A delve into the psychology of the mind in rhyme and poetic form. Been there for forty years my friend and there is no good answer for many of the delusional, the depressed, the anxious and disturbed have no peace or if so are not left in it. A good question my friend

Without the Individual, all Art would Stagnate and become Bland.
The Individuals are the Stuff of Statues.
Good Write.

I always feel if there\'s twenty people having their say, then it\'s hard to get your own thoughts out.
In saying that, usually it\'s neneteen people discussing the job and one guy actually doing it.

Doh! I gotta Think Light sometimes - well, most of the time really! lol. But can see the dark side of poems too, such as an ominous glug heard from the dark depths. We know who it is! lol.

Societal expectations demand compliance ignoring the individual and their needs. My poem today skirts this same issue from another view. Nicely written from the individual perspective this shouts out for rebellion against the machine and the man. Well written my friend

For me this can be taken several ways.I see a troubled relationship where the female is willing to play teh power game.The author however is not so fake.It can be a metaphor for toxic Love.Enjoyed reading.Made me think

It calls out pull towards power, but also shows a quiet confidence in choosing your own path. Well written. Nice

Well written. Your poem examines the relationships between individuals who are near those in power, highlighting the superficial nature of their interactions. It questions the value of seeking approval from authority figures and emphasizes the importance of remaining true to oneself.

Powerful write Tristan. It is the weak, those that are in proximity to power and also need to belong. To be something bigger than themselves. Just my interpretation.

If I remember right he had his head on some rocks before that dream. Anticipation works for children why not for adults when they expect to catch the droppings of the powerful. Indeed proximity to power does turn one into a wallflower out of fear of ruffling feathers. A most interesting write my friend

There’s a quiet strength in this—no bitterness, just someone walking forward without asking for acknowledgment.
Feels like closure earned the hard way… a steady grace that doesn’t need permission to keep moving.

A poem of recognition without acknowledgement it leaves a cold feel and then the response that one is getting beyond that. Moving on is the thing to do.

A powerful poem for me, been there. Your poem revolves around an encounter with someone from the past, emphasizing feelings of rejection, the weight of unspoken words, and the liberation that comes from self-acceptance and resilience.
