Description
trying to break freetrying to know why, and see
trying not to be
a failure
a nuisance
an enemy
taking all the risks i can
trying to live up, grow up and be a man
i just dont see how i can
be happy
live free
grow and be
that which is expected of me
to do what i can do
to fulfil my purpose
and turn into
that man
who is happy
unattainable. undescribable. repetative.
sinking. drowning. failing. wailing.
why can i be happy?

I like this and I can relate to it very well (not the man part, but the being happy and growing up and wondering of the things I am supposed to fulfill).
They style is catchy as well.
I don't usually like rhyming poems but you did very well on this one.

Nice poem, you've handled the subject well
Like the structure of the piece, particulaly the use of italics in the last line to make it stand out, and good rhythmic flow.
Well done
