Dance of Survival by Kavya
Dance of Survival by Kavya
Wildebeests teetering on the edge of survival
Like denizens of hell desperate for paradise
Reckless for better days
Driven mad by survival
It's sink or swim
It's all they know
The girl child teeters on the edge of survival
Moving forward with no end in sight
Her feet heavy as her leaden heart
Her smiles empty as the amaranthine desert
She sees nothing more and dreams of better days
It's all she knows
Wildebeests teetering on the edge of survival
Lost in dreams of the Garden of Eden
No price too high, no toll too great
What is true and what is false?
When lines are blurred
It's all they know
The girl child teeters on the edge of survival
Trapped in the fiery realms of hell
Enslaved by delusions of gaiety and grandeur
Blinded by dreams of riches and happiness
Her desires of what she's never had
But sorrow and lose has made her delirious
Her dreams are all she has
It's all she knows
Wildebeests teetering on the edge of survival
Leaping and drowning in the river of Mara
In the throes of madness a riff with dangers
This dance of death that only the fortuitous survive
The air reeks of desperation
Choking, Suffocating
Their hope and desire clouding sanity
It's all they've ever known
The girl child teeters on the edge of survival
Her hopes slip away like the sands of time
But still she pushes forward,
Fueled by desperation
She has nothing to lose and everything to gain
The burning deserts her River Mara
The lines are blurred
It's all she knows
Wildebeests teetering on the edge of survival
Like denizens of hell desperate for paradise
Reckless for better days
Driven mad by survival
It's sink or swim
It's all they know
The girl child teeters on the edge of survival
Moving forward with no end in sight
Her feet heavy as her leaden heart
Her smiles empty as the amaranthine desert
She sees nothing more and dreams of better days
It's all she knows
Wildebeests teetering on the edge of survival
Lost in dreams of the Garden of Eden
No price too high, no toll too great
What is true and what is false?
When lines are blurred
