Another poem from my final project this semester, a rough draft. Criticism needed, please!

"Raise the bar."

It seems pretty high
already,

if you ask me.

Pushing,
sacrificing,
stressing.

For this seemingly
unachievable

Goal.

To be the best.

To succeed, to
conquer,
to be happy.

I don't know if I am.

Missing my friends,
losing sleep,
studying,
working,
planning,
worrying.

What happens when I get there?

Will I be

happy?



I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I want to explore the world. I want to watch TV in a different time zone. I want to visit strange, exotic malls...I want to live, Marge! Won't you let me live?
