"Existential Crisis"

by Kraig Ballard

My media is poetry. Though I generally am considered to be a visual artist, I'm more reclusive about being a writer as well. I don't often share it due to its personal nature. My work generally relates to nature, not only of the Earthly sense, but also human and philosophical.

Existential Crisis

I'm venturing to a place that is feared; One that is difficult for you to find. It won't take long since I have volunteered To leave this place and live inside my mind.

Reality has left me full of doubt; Has driven me to look for an escape. I stop by the mirror on my way out And realize that I cast my own fate.

Wait for a minute to collect my thoughts. What is it that I want to get from life? To conquer ev'rything I've ever sought And somehow rid myself of stress and strife.

Here I prepare myself for the big fight; To battle all across the sky this night.
