Sleepless, lost and wandering Wondering what it all means Beg the heavens for an answer But silence is the only response from an overcast sky The chain slackens and the cage drops Cerebral bars block the paths of elated reflection Contentment occasionally slips through the clefts But is instantly devoured by sharks of agony Grief, heartache, passion and sorrow The artists toolbox Blood, sweat and tears (fears) Causation of our desire to die Is what gives our work life

Existential Dread
Sleepless, lost and wandering Wondering what it all means Beg the heavens for an answer But silence is the only response from an overcast sky The chain slackens and the cage drops Cerebral bars block the paths of elated reflection Contentment occasionally slips through the clefts But is instantly devoured by sharks of agony Grief, heartache, passion and sorrow The artists toolbox Blood, sweat and tears (fears) Causation of our desire to die Is what gives our work life
A simple poem about the "negative feeling arising from the experience of human freedom and responsibility."
