Description
Whispers in my earCompel me to surrender.
But I will not hear;
I defy my contender.
Defeat is not an option;
There is no other way:
Survive against all odds
To die another day.
'Tis the oldest battlecry;
The only ultimatum.
Fight until you die—
Rather plain verbatim.
To be classified as "alive,"
Survive, survive, survive.

Ooh. I like it. It has this . . . I can't even explain it. Forceful encouraging feel to it? I don't know. It's good though. It's sometimes what people need just to get through, to know that all they have to do is survive.

"Forceful encouragement" -- that's exactly what I wished to capture. Thank you so much for your comment!

Sorry, I think you're confusing me with someone else. I don't know you, and I've never shown any hostility toward you whatsoever. Please leave me alone.

this is so amazing to read; i wish i'd had it when i was going through my rough time. you capture the feelings perfectly and come back with fiery, sensible answers. i love how the poem doesn't try to quantify happiness or emotional contentment, but instead goes right to the most significant point: surviving and living are different, yet surviving can sometimes turn into living.
bravo!

Good job.

I definitely enjoyed it - it actually reminds me of a passage in the Bible. I can't remember what it is right now, though.
