I'm in a bad mood

It's hard not to be sad when you are genuinely confused

About purpose and the meaning of every molecule,

And when all you can do is wonder.

It's hard to believe that your purpose

Is to have all of your questions answered

 

Sometimes I wonder why I was given life;

Why does a parent bear a child?

For the obligatory manufactured satisfaction?

So on their death bed they can look back and say

"This is the mark I made on the world"?

What if your child is miserable? A **** up?

Were they doing you a favor

Or just being selfish?
