Survive

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street #5

I’m gonna survive,

Even if I have to cut you down,

I don’t care if you live,

As long as I won’t drown.

I’m strong; I’m smart,

Who cares if you’re not:

It’s your own demise

I’ll live; you’ll be caught

Taking no liabilities,

If you’re just going to slow me.

Generosity and friendship

Are lost, you see.

I’ll survive,

That’s what I’ll do.

I choose me,

When it comes down to me or you.
