Christian Existentialist

I am the very essence of a Christian Existentialist.

I misquote Soren Kierkegaard, and Saint Jerome’s my nemesis.

I write my verses faithfully, and this one is my exegesis.

I am the very essence of a Christian Existentialist.

 

This Christian Existentialist defines himself, insisting only

on such premises as this, in a self-existing, lonely

solitary state, hereby related by an Existential

Christian, since that's what I am, simply, at my most essential.

 

I am the very essence of a Christian Existentialist.

Everyone who knows me calls me Corey, or Hieronymous.

I cannot speak with certainty on anything except just this:

I am the very essence of a Christian Existentialist.

 

As a Christian Existentialist

I have my own personal Jesus.

I cannot prove that he exists,

but live as if he sees us.

My Jesus saves each pebble to

Rub the heel inside each shoe

To tenderize its hardened sole.

Jesus, he’s just like Dr. Scholl.
