if not for me,
the world would still be round
and you would not need worry
'bout falling off the face of it.
it may not seem like it,
but
if not for me,
eggshells would be intact
instead of crunching beneath.
it may have been the same regardless,
but
if not for me,
the sun would rise & fall,
the clouds would rumble & pass,
& I would be none the wiser.
if not for me.

This poem has an interesting voice. It seems that the speaker has quite an ego and believes they are the center of the universe..in control of even the sun and the clouds. Perhaps I am interpreting incorrectly?
Intriguing piece.. There is an element of control here that's a little unsettling here.. I reacted similarly as Mary, though I can see it also as a metaphor.
def an interesting perspective...changing the things we know...or challenging what we know to be true...i think we need those people to make us think...and grow....
I like the repetition of this--it's a good thing we don't have too much power.
Sometimes we're better off without the person we think we cannot live without. May all those in toxic relationships have the strength to GET OUT! Thought provoking piece.
The speaker strikes me as arrogant and overbearing with the repetition of..if not for me ~ Perhaps a back story might make me change my mind, ha ~
it would be interesting how we would change the world if we could for the people we love
I like the irony in the voice you used here RMP. Enjoyed this piece.
Ha! I bet I'm one of the ones who read it in a way you didn't intend.
