A Way to Survive

It's lies in our hearts in crystals,
This life we are born with.
Meant to protect and respect.

Many fail and find ways, any way at all
To push the limits of their minds and skin.
Thus, creating a monster which grows immortal
With each precious, given breath.

We are alive, yet our minds shrivel and die.
How is it that our bodies are still alive?
What is the best way to conquer
The deadly, thirsty, viscous monster inside?

"Better buckle up" it says "and enjoy the ride."
Because somehow, no matter what,
We all gotta find a way to survive.

"We all gotta find a way to survive. "
The first word that comes to the mind after reading is "thoughtful ". Well written. keep writing .

I really loved the poem. We are our own creator and destroyer. The last line sums up everything. Keep up the good work.
