What is it
About this place
About this town
About this time
That I'm both suffocating
And free
How can the two
Coexist
Live in serenity
Together
How am I
Burning out
While the wind chill
Floats in
What a
Cruel
And unusual
Punishment
For caring.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

I absolutely loved this. That I’m both suffocating and free really stuck with me
This always happens when we care. But sadly, I don't know how to not care. Loved your poem!
Good pace of this poem, KB
