Existential ditty of rhyming simplicity

Dividing line defies defined Not who but where was I Was I in eyebrows expressing midst reflexive twitching Was I behind closed eyes, squeezing hand on polite command Was it fully I present for first memory…if just for a moment, discontinuously I strongly desire a marker, to wrap my mind around, to structure But in truth so long I was in between…my existence flatly in doubt Dead certain entering the void…no way to say when I came back out

Dear Payge, I loved how your existential ditty delves into the enigmatic nature of existence, questioning the very essence of being. I liked how you explored the elusive boundary between presence and absence, between certainty and doubt. Your words eloquently show the struggle to define the self amidst fleeting moments of consciousness and introspection. So, embrace the fluidity of your journey, for within the ambiguity lies the beauty of your ever-evolving understanding of self. - Blessings, Daniel
