Will to Survive

What is life?

Is it full of hard truths,

or stocked with bitter-sweet lies?

Is it the certainty that life is so short,

That makes it so tantalizing?

Like the last drops of a desert sea.

Life of Death.

Death of Life.

The unknown is what we fear,

what we try to find out.

But do we ever really know?

We act like we live forever,

But, in truth, we could die in a day.

We will always fear death.

Always prefer life when it comes down to it.

For ingrained in us

Is the Will to Survive.
