WHO AM I???

i always ponder ovr what life is n how it all just began so i just dashed off this poem one day...

Am i something?

Or am i nothing?

What do i mean?

Why do i exist?

Who made me?

What is the ultimate purpose?

Am I a part of a larger thing?

What is life?

What is death?

Where do i come from?

Where do i go?

How does this continuous cycle go on and on?

Why and how does everything exist that exists?

Who controls everything?

What is it?

Why does it do so?

What does it want?

What do i want?

Why am i here?

Oh its difficult difficult... mind boggling! 

 

So i am here...

and everything else too

now what? What next?

Life has been gifted to me

Its precious, its beautiful...

Why not make it large and larger?

Why not fill it with rich experiences?

Why live like a thief or a scared creature?

Why not live like a king, a queen?

Why blame the rains?

Why not outrun the winds?

Why hide in a burrow?

Why not fly with the birds?

Whatever is_ is and will always be...

Why waste, spoil and tarnish it?

Why not enjoy and live our best?

Shouldn't bother about the rest!!!

Life is precious_ so am I

and so is everything...

Every creature,  every sunshine,

every dewdrop on leaves at daybreak,

every breathtaking moonlight,

every tiny grain of sand and everything...

Respect it love it

and enjoy the life!

Mustn't forget...

Whatever I am 

I am much more than something

and not nothing...

And a part of that Being 

Who controls everything!

A truly philosophical poem!

"What is it?
Why does it do so?
What does it want?
What do i want?
Why am i here?
Oh its difficult difficult... mind boggling!"

How full of hope! Lovable!

"Life has been gifted to me
Its precious, its beautiful...
Why not make it large and larger?"

Loved these lines...

"I am much more than something
and not nothing...
And a part of that Being
Who controls everything!"

Dear harmon,

Lots of questions. Why do we believe anything? With so many questions we have to be careful. We want answers and I think mankind's lust for answers gives us a tendency to make up answers to fill the void. It's human nature, I suppose. We can't stand the unknown. Just look at your poem and your lust for answers. That's what this poem is all about. You've described a fundamental human aspect here. We'll never know all the answers, but we need discipline not to jump to conclusions.

Very best regards,

Rick

This feels more like three poems than three stanzas of one. You ask simple questions, then complicated ones, and then you make statements that have only tangential relation to the original topic.

Which is not to say that it's bad, it's just a little weird.

Your punctuation, on the other hand, IS bad. You've got ellipses where they don't belong, underscores for no observable reason, and too many exclamation marks. Come on, you're not six, use those properly.

It's a petty complain in a competent poem, but it stands out when there really isn't a lot of text to see here.
