I am not happy

This is what I felt during the first day of my new job.

I don't know what I feel

Something heavy inside

I want to cry, but can't describe the pain

Self pity, maybe

I feel so alone, always alone

I want someone to talk to

I want to bring back the past and choose a different path

A different career

I can't see my purpose right now.

Am I meant to be here?

Unexplainable, but seems like I'm suffering everyday.

I wanna make things smooth

But here unexpected things happen.

Can someone help me?

First, the answer to your last question is "Yes!" Many people can help, and your poem is a good way to reach out and connect with others. That's the real beauty of poetry, the connections we form we strangers through our words. It seems you're already helping yourself a bit, expressing your emotions among like-minded friends.

The "suffering" you describe in this poem is common, especially among young adults, still trying to figure out who they are and where they're going. As I've told my two kids (21 and 23), slow down and take your time. Enjoy the ride. If we stay on the path, as long as we're moving forward, we usually find our way. So, good poem to reflect and discuss. Keep writing.
