Existential Ohm

the opposite of an existential crisis

It's not that it's there,

It's that it's happening

There's darkness and lightness 

And I'm there

I don't understand it

And that's fine

If I was bigger

The world would seem small

But I'm puny

And grateful

For I can look up

And see life

This is fantastic! You have said so much, so simply, so eloquently. I cannot say enough great things about this. This style truly appeals to me - when you can speak metaphor without saying a word. This absolutely gripped me from the first lines through the last. This could have been a great epic, and then.....well, as it turns out it was, indeed. It was epic tale of possibility - life. How grand your writing. I completely embrace this. Well done.

Standing on my little bar stool to cheer loudly.

I'm you liked it so much!! This poem is actually from my own diary, so it's nice to know that something I wrote for personal reasons touches people I don't even know :)

This is a very neat piece! I've never really thought about the opposite of an existential crisis before, but I like that idea very much. Your title drew me in, and the rest of the piece kept me here until the last line. I especially like the line "If I was bigger, the world would seem small". It's such an obvious statement, but when thought about, it has a bit of a philosophical vibe to it. Overall, great job. This is a very thought provoking piece! :)

Thank you! This poem was inspired when I was talking about some philosophical theories to my friend and accidentally freaked him out. I thought it was weird, because I was telling him those things because I thought they were cool. But he thought it was scary and made me stop talking about it. Anyway, thanks for the nice review!!

I appreciate the tone of this one... I smiled when I finished reading. And then I read it again.

Short, sweet, to the point. A wonderful sense of contrast.

thank you.
