Second Place Winner in Weekly Poetry Contest 30 by Earnesty Community...
The world's no place for someone shy
For the only rule here is to do or die.
The world is a daily survival contest
Where nothing is achieved without a test.
Here, we don't get the chance to live
But the chance to survive.
Filled with an atmosphere of doom
Overhead us a constant danger looms.
This violent, bloody game of survival
Turns friends and allies into dangerous rival.
One who accepts pain may just survive
But the one who adapts will surely thrive.
We have to chew through broken glass
Turning our mouth into a bleeding mass.
We become a prisoner to depression
With nothing left in us but aggression.
We are unsure of greeting morning's light
or whether everything will turn out right.
So, tell me,
Will we ever survive this ?
Will we ever survive this game of survival?
