Existential Depression

Rachel Munoz 1988 (Ca)

So what is life?
Is it something that you-know?
Is it the last line you did at the show?
Is it the cool wind that will blow?
Into your mind it will store?
Gum drops and bubblegum dreams that go to and fro.
Like nothing ever happened
Like the Christian's blame the James Webb Telescope?
To edge of the universe.
God stands in toe
As I scream for answers his benevolent ass cant hear me though.
Through the weed and pharmaceuticals I cant open the door
For this is right
But society will never be what I sow

About this poem

I am a woman, a mother, a daughter, a wife, a child coping with this new shift in the world.
