One Foot at a Time
April 26, 2017
One foot at a time
Every step thud
Existence on my mind
What is existence if not blood
Existence on each line.
My existence is only existent in my mind
Approach the cross walk
One foot at a time
Existence not alive
Perspective caused the crime
Two step back
Panic. React
Shake my head: disbelieve
Confusion, guaranteed
Speed away, no choice, flee
Perspective of my existence
Unaware by most: distance
Another mountain to climb
One foot at a time.

As I go for a walk, I am contemplating the intricacies of my own existence when I almost get hit by a car. I am deeply bothered by this, and this incident continues to reveal how insignificant I really am to the world. I felt that this experience and the ideas that I introduced connect well together. Because of this, I wanted to connect my words together with a rhythmic approach. I took this approach to make my poem to make the story seem attached; apart of the bigger picture. As if this incident was meant to happen.
