Your poem is full of insight. It reminds me of Shakespeare, and so it inspired me to write this tiny gift poem for you which you may keep as your own.

Rage

All the world’s a stage,
actors speaking page on page
signifying rage.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, rage speaks so loudly that wisdom cannot be heard... Thank you, Aethereal.

You're welcome! "diverging roads" hints at Robert Frost's "The road not taken"

[Cory Barrett]

I know it may sound strange by I love this feeling of absolute abandonment. Not all of the time, but on occasion the freedom that responsibility for only yourself brings is quite wonderful. Great ability to convey so much feeling in so little words. Thank you.

Thank you, Streamline - I know what you mean...

[Cassie]

Lonely feeling especially when you are in a new environ with new people and you feel like you are the only odd one out.

[Rita L. Sev]

Stages of life feel like this at times, too... Thanks, Cassie!

It surely can seem like a vast wilderness. The banality and the mundane can make it feel empty at times. Drudgery punctuated by moments of joy perhaps.

[Rita L. Sev]

Truthfully, more joy than anything. Some days the drudgery just takes over, though... Thanks, Blue.

A frightening feeling(s) indeed when we get stranded in the wilderness literally or symbolically. We look for a way out of this terrible place. Some wild predators might be lurking in the distance too...Excellent...:)................

Thank you so much, Sami. You got exactly where I was going with this one.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome...:)......................
