Survive

By Cassidy Smith

By Cassidy SmithPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

To kill or to be killed...

In order to win, one must fight;

Fight to survive and to stay alive

One must look deep inside to realize...

That thou mind is not sound.

For if it were to be sound, the light would shine within.

Instead, the light shines without...

Without any doubt, this shining light is unfortunately not necessarily seen as one's light should be.

Quit looking beyond thyself and snap into reality of what one can find within themself.

To kill or to be killed...

Will you fight now?...

Or face a cowardly death beyond great belief.

How does one face sin when sin is all around.

Think about it...

Does one's judgment cast unto another's

Or is this a conspiracy of misfortunate events?

We must always remember once a soldier, always a soldier.

In order to win, one must fight;

Fight to survive and to stay alive.

We are all born into freedom,

But we also choose how we live our freedom.

This is not the end, nor will it be.

This is the beginning of eternity
