(Note:  Existential crisis is a moment at which an individual question whether their life has meaning, purpose, or value.The concept of Existentialism started in 20th century as humanity was threatened by the philosophy of Nazism and Facism, thus leading to Existential crisis.)  

After the advent of life
Many things went by
Some lows, some highs
Some regrets, some sighs

But once I crossed a point
Where I was skeptic,
Skeptic, about all things good
Uncertainty festered, but
No cure 
Questions arose, but
No answers 
I felt that,
It was the end.
Something I couldn't mend
I felt that,
Everything was in vain
Everything I had
Until I realized.
The agony, the pain
Life knowingly offered,
To test me, my resilience

Then only Did I make believe
That I had liberty
From the abyss of
Doubt 
And
From the clutches of
Existential Crisis…
The clutches of
Existential Crisis…
