Survior

What does it mean to survive?

Are we to be thankful we are still alive?

Are we ready to be someone elses hero?

Or are we still an invisible zero?

We are still around.

Not able to kiss the ground, nor willing

to jump up and down.

The sun is shining but what does that mean?

It can't illuminate what is so dark and unclean.

It remains dark outside our door.

We feel the cold seeping up through the floor.

The babies are hungry and crying.

Is this really surving?

Bite, Chew, Swallow

Bite, Chew, Swallow
Bite, Chew, Swallow
It's the escape from the pain of yesterday
and the fear of tomorrow.

Before, After, Before, After
Deja vu after is again before
How many times have we been through
this same revolving door?

Fat people are jolly.
This is such folly.
We laugh, joke, put ourselves down,
Before others have a chance to knock
us to the ground.

Bite, Chew, Swallow
Bite, Chew, Swallow
It's the escape from the pain of yesterday
and the fear of tomorrow.
