Description Whispers in my ear
Compel 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!

This is a very true poem, and I can relate to it perfectly. I love the forwardness of it, and the way it flows wonderfully.
Good job.
