Poem “ My Mind “

I’m just trying not to lose my mind

I wish everyone would just be kind 

Understand that with teen depression rates on the rise 

And gun violence won’t subside 

I’m just trying not to lose my mind

I’m just trying not to lose my mind

When a woman’s right to chose is no longer,  this just heightens my blues

It’s like no one is picking up on life’s cues , divided we stand who is gonna call a truce?

I’m just trying not to lose my mind

When everywhere I look I see emptiness 

Between the sketchiness of the subway carts late at night 

To the friendlessness that exists in our capitalist societies 

All across the major cities all I see among all people all I see is emptiness !
