Outlive

By Phalanx

Can't be anything different, so why ask?
I chose a course so, it's mine.
I live in a hell of in between,
Makes me remember what it smells like to be alive.
I was a child once but, I ran out of excuses.
Stature doesn't fool the status quoe.
Eat me and memorize my flesh or
Am I just insulting you?
I like stories and death because, anything's possible.
I think it's just to hate the evil men do
Without hating the man as I believe
It just to kill those who act out and can't let go.
Sooner or later you have to put away the hate to survive.
