You nailed loneliness--and the depression that surely ensues--powerful imagery--dragging, clawing are graphically evocative of your desperately trying to escape from the abyss wherein dwells the beast called Loneliness.

The poem is sending a very woeful message of loneliness. Message is clear. The person experiencing this needs to wrench their mind away from the sadness and become occupied with helping someone else. That usually pushes those thoughts away.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I am not a tanka expert (so my review is about the words and not rules) I like the use of loneliness twice, if I had to suggest any thing it would be to center your words, which to me are very meaningful best wishes for your contest****kahpot
