The Depressed Masochist

I just now realized I should warn readers, many things I write can be taken in different ways. To be honest that is my intent; however, if you take offense, it is you that take it that way.

The Depressed Masochist

I was surrounded in darkness.

The essence that was me was engulfed in nothingness.

Chaos was my only companion.

Something was not right, and I felt very alone.

I said, let there be light and billions of stars came into being.

They seemed alone and incomplete, so I gave them planets.

It was perfect and brought some meaning to my soul.

Something was not right, and it all mocked me by its silence.

I created eternal entities that would worship and adore me.

They bowed and sang of my greatness.

My every word enthralled their every fiber.

It was perfect and brought some light to my eyes.

Some rebelled and turned against me.

Something was not right, and it all seemed hollow.

I put ethereal transitory life on the planets.

They lived and died in the blink of my eye.

It was perfect and brought a smile to my face.

Simple life had no concept of me and did not fill the gap.

Something was not right, and still it felt meaningless.

I created a being in my own image.

They were given the image of my very soul and mind.

It was good and brought warmth to my heart.

They saw me, and my presence delighted them.

Even so, they disobeyed and turned their back on me.

Something still was not right, and it was perfect no more.

I did all this knowing the past, the present and the future.

Now, this is the cycle of creation. And even after the whole creation was submerged into the Super Awareness. This cycle can start again in a way that we cannot even imagine, with a new past, present and future at the Pure Will of the Consciousness. This poem did give me some solace for my state of mind. Thank you H.L for the read request. Love.

I think you've written a good Fundamentalist poem here, Cerveise. :)

Sorry I see I never responded to this review. I am glad you thought it was good. Your interpretation is dependent on who and what you think god is. I knew many would see it as a fundamentalist writing and that most would be content with that.

However, put a slightly different spin on this or approach it from let's say metaphysics and or string theory.
