ALONE AND ALIVE



alone and alive
eyes open and clear
beast in the jungle
my home it is here

force on arrival
all danger is near
shelter survival
adrenaline fear

sleep and consumption
i'll take what i need
my lust is to live
on others i feed

lock on each movement
the predator's stare
thick perspiration
and hyper aware

i am all i need
and here shall I thrive
hunter and hunted
alone and alive
