Nascent

An entire world at hand, a lost mind in the fight
No sense of direction, nowhere to hide
Red in tooth and claw, perpetual violence
Unrelenting assault with only instinct guiding me
Red in tooth and claw, unrelenting assault
Is this the only way to…
Survive
I open my eyes, I realize
Space between the body and mind
In spite of revelation, I’m compelled to persist
The pursuit of wisdom forsaken, I fight to exist
I find myself in a world propelled by the force of my own will
Scratching out a life with my own two hands
No time for seeking clarity
In this never ending scarcity
Survive
I open my eyes, I realize
Space between the body and mind
Survival
I open my eyes, I realize
Space between the body and mind
Unsafe and unspoken
This is all that I know
A buried identity
I stand alone
Survive
I open my eyes, I realize
What else can be made of this life
