Existentialism

Image

In the abyss of existence, we roam,
Seeking meaning in the unknown,
Man wanders, lost, yet to find his home,
His essence is hidden, yet to be shown.

Before the essence, existence must be,
A journey through chaos, wild and free,
In the labyrinth of life, we're set adrift,
Seeking purpose, our souls to uplift.

Through trials and tribulations, we strive,
In the depths of our being, we're alive,
Existential quandaries, we confront,
In the quest for meaning, we confront.

To find our essence, we must endure,
Embrace the uncertainty, and mature,
For in the crucible of existence, we learn,
Our essence emerges, a flame to burn.

So let us embrace the existential plight,
And journey onward, into the night,
For only through existence, do we find,
The essence of our being, intertwined.

Existentialism is philosophical school of thought that specifically project the opinion that existence precedes essence meaning that man must have to live first in order to discover his essence. Therefore, there exist no destiny or fate that is prior to man's existence since only man can create his own fate and destiny. This poem i wrote it to capture this ideas.
