I agree about the rawness of this poem, Christine, but I was more taken by the image of someone ‘Climbing over discarded baggage / scattered without thought /and blocking advancement’, which we all do to different degrees, and some more than others. The final lines are just so sad.

Thanks Kim. Like many, I write to heal, so sometimes my poetry can be on the dark side. 😦 Next one will be sunnier I’m sure ☺️💕👍
This is so very tight and strong… the image of failure in the end so particularly strong.
Thank you Bjorn. I appreciate that very much ☺️
“The emotional scaffolding holding up your life”–brilliant.

Oh my heart this is painstakingly deep and honest, Christine! The rules can be a bit hazy sometimes. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt 💖💖
I should have practiced a little more. Some of the other poems were outstanding. Thanks for your kind words Sanaa ☺️❤️
