The burden of receiving without asking

free verse poem
Saturated anguish with everything:
thoughts,
ideas,
questions,
dreams.
Sickening anguish
as a bleak omen:
the scent
of what
is going to
unravel.
I do know why:
they announced me a journey,
the fulfillment of a wish.
How can I bear
the burden of
receiving
without asking?
How can I bear
the burden of
a raising hope?
