THE SURVIVAL



She is not JUST about the roses
She is about those pains that make you doze
She is about the experience that changes your mindset about decomposing 
She is about you and your world.
She exposes-
Threats, failures and nemesis with some blows
These may hurt you deeper than poison
But the facts lie in whether you can keep falling prey or you can fight to keep your head high above the world

She can change you, no matter who you are
It's either you become a Beast or an Angel
Just don't be both in disguise
Unless you seek a rude demise
She happens in her own time
Irrespective of what you have been formulating your whole lifetime

She can leave you a scar or make you an exemplar 
She has more than you know on her plate;
Depression, confusion, illusions which make you abate
or have you desecrate 
Yet, HER weakness is your DETERMINATION 
ADAPTATION and AFFIRMATION

EXISTENCE, the Essence of the Manifestation and Foundation of beings, can be your ASSET
Only when you take a harder look, understand, and take responsibility for what you can control "Your MINDSET"
Think of something great; make it a Revival 
Act on what you think, make it Accessible
Become what you think, Indestructible 
This is THE REALITY OF SURVIVAL
