Asking Too Much

alone in the snow
walking within a curtain of white flakes
wondering what life is all about

Am I having a crisis?
Am I really suicidal?
Am I not happy here at university?

Maybe not
but I don't want to go home
I want to go somewhere else
where I can breathe
and be me

Is that asking too much?

"Where I can breathe and be me"--ah, I've so been here--external pressure crushing inward--needing an escape--too much suffocation to turn inward for meditation. Nice work!

Thank you very much.

i know we've all been here before searching for solace and unmoved by persons or love we condemn and sadly we are unable to feel the need to be there.
beautiful. sadly touching.

A truly sad situation to be caught up in. I hope you get out of it alright.
Friends and family can help, just know who to trust.

Yes, I feel the pain your write about in this. Wondering what life is all about and if your worthy or not. I hope this is just a poem and not something you are actually going through.

Thank you!!!

This a sad.introspective poem that binds the inner with the outer, from a poet who has since years kept up the standard of good work on WC. An impressive work...
