Existential Crisis

 

Existential Crisis


He steps up to the plate

He takes centre stage

He breathes in the foul air

Because it is all the rage


He marries young

He has two kids

Takes a job so he can live

Whatever that does mean


He drinks and smokes

Takes unnecessary risks

Doesn't think things through

He opts but doesn’t pick


His crisis looms

He wants more

He feels the rut of his choices

His options long ago were rather staid


He sees the world differently

He sees the world limiting his is

Calibrated by circumspect

Owned by societal bliss


An existential crisis looms 

Mass hysteria paves the way

“You are so different than all the others

Why must you be this way?”


Will it ever end?

The rhythm goes on an on

Playing with his head

Same old familiar song.
