Abstract: "Traumatic events can provoke introspection in a person's life and possibly cause an existential crisis , or , depression. These conscious thoughts offer a new perception of life as the individual understands that they define their own meaning and purpose to life. This leads to a series of choices. Those choices are often filled with the mundane , ""everydayness"" of life. Attempting to accept normalcy and navigate the mundane can lead to frustration , even recycling the individual back to a constant search for purpose and meaning. Poetry , as an art form , provides modules that can present mundane moments and use them to create a larger piece that recycles and searches for purpose and meaning , much like an individual."
