I love hearing your emotional response to my poem. Many Thanks 🤩🤩🤩
Such stark honesty — yet within it, a quiet resilience. Even in the feeling of being ‘used up,’ the poem reminds us that something tender and enduring still remains.

‘Life has used me. It sucked the sweet, chewed down to the core. It wants to spit that last little bit— throw out the pit. Life is finished with me.’ Erich von Hungen’s (@PoetryForce) moving poem, ‘What Remains’, champions the persistence of hope. apricotpress.co.uk/2026/09/2…
