My Twentieth Year - 12. tortured tolerance

Oh it makes me sad to think of the younger you feeling so pressured by life. Your pain comes through in both of these..
hope things are much different now

They are much better now, and this was a long time ago... Thank you for the review, Tim!

No 31 just gets me in complete hug mode... So sad to read. I wondered if the burnt dreams were your's or someone else's. At first I thought your dreams had shattered, but the tortured endurance points me in another direction. Family perhaps.

Both really unsettling, but I think because they cry out, reflecting incompleteness.

But then, I guess we all were at 20, right?

Thanks, Puppilull. This is one of the few poems from this period that I actually remember writing. I was in bed, in my dorm room, alone and unable to sleep. I switched on my desk lamp and crawled back in bed to write this. I don't know why I remember this, but I do.

That's just what I was thinking this morning, skinny. I would not want to be 20 again, stuck between pressures and not knowing if I'd ever be happy, or be anything really.

Thanks for your comments.

So sad. I can relate.
