We all work so hard to achieve what we can, and it always feels like its never enough, for me it feels like every step I take is one two steps back. This poem feels like that. To my favorites

Thank you, Kevin. And you have raised a fascinating issue. Can we (and I know we do) equate achievment with fulfillment?

A life in fraction is a portrait of loss. A brilliant write! Deeply dark and very thought provoking poem
