Popular Existentialism Poems
A High-jacked Mind
by Montaigne Foxcroft

Learning
Yearning
Tossing and Turning
What is the point of anything if this world will end up burning?
We turn serious matters into a joke
To some folk the air they breath
Is the thing on which they choke
The book of life, so to speak, specifies not to be "unequally yoked"
Does not this same book read that love bears all things?
Where is the line, who's to say that we actually understand the construct of time

When
by j d

When the feeling is gone and the days are too long
When you’re crying for fear, of deciding wrong

When sky always grey and the suns far too bright
When you can never sleep
When you’re out every night
When you’re too nauseous to eat & too nauseous to sleep
And the evil thoughts
Begin to creep

Alpha and Omega Blues
by Chris Quinn

I have raked the coals
Of what passes for my soul
Stoked it into ire
I cannot perne in a gyre
The seas no longer crowded
Earth smells like a burning tire
We live so close to death
That we may awaken yet
It seems right not to consume
To live as dead until breath seems like theft

A Sinner's Heart
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

My soul badly suffers intense pain
Heavy with fleshy chains
Burning dead in the fires of hell
For the mortal sin
Committed once in the Garden
Of joy in the twilight of life,
Under the bower of intimacy
Fostered for no reason
Between love and sympathy.
The soiled body fallen from grace

-WORDS V/S WORDS-
by Tanya Kaur

We love words of every murdered whites,
warmly touch us,
we touch them,
with no touch!
As we found something unsaid, unspoken & untone for our soul to feel....
... which are mortal with no identity
but with eternity
...& What if these words tame us..!!

Suspended End
by Romina Espinoza

Old world, new skin, left uncontrolled

The body I’m in, hung out in the cold

And when it comes, comes closing in

I’ll just be skin, oh skin and bone

I’ll push everyone away when I’m angry inside

sisyphus
by Sirena V

every day, i'm heading closer;
life forcing me to push my own heavy boulder.
stuck in an endless loop like sisyphus;
feeling tortured on this earthly abyss.

i did not expect for life to be like this.

disassociation
by Sirena V

all the motions feel too fast,
thoughts are forever fleeting.

conversations don't seem to last,
there is not much real feeling.

the body working just like a machine,
drifting through autopilot.

how hard it is to remain present,

Lodestar
by Jack Riley

I've been walking a road
Long ago deserted
I've been walking alone
Spewing nonsense unheard of
Manufactured and cloned
They say he'll be coded
To be me again
The feeling is corrosive
I'm the grass you're trampling
I'm behind the mask I display
