Existentialist Examiner

my voice may not be loud I may not stand out in the crowd not game changer but a strange stranger that's me others have a louder roar other wings, a higher soar but, listen...there's more epic doesn't negate my tale Nor does fame make it pale watch out for me I date destiny in my little sphere I oscillate making waves that vindicate purposefully planted I speak the unique a different take a different shake awake faking fake I'm real sometimes a whisper sometimes a shout or in monotone metronome meter I...get...the...truth...out influence is what I'm about silence is not golden when happiness is stolen catalyst reviver destitute dream finder prejudice grinder a healer, binder I am reality existentialist examiner look at me I'm here to leave a mark I'll not stay in the dark Little light shiner I may not be the blaze but i'm steady, it only takes a little light to ignite the world I am me not a Shakespeare or a Donne no, neither one but my place I have won with a party of one that's still influence that's still power in this time and hour that's all we need one person to change... one world with one word it can be done I'm here I'm your party... your party of ONE Eileen Manassian

It seems this one called out to me again. I would repost this one. I have poems that don’t get much response and then I repost later and they are well received. Perhaps the audience changes. Hugs Rick.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t, it’s quite well expressed.

Funny...this poem didn't get that many reads. I wonder was I off base? Thanks for reading, dear. Hugs

What would I do without people like you who make me feel good about my feeble lines. Thanks ever so much, dear. You make me soar. Hugs
