  1. what terrible word I hear
    about lives without a scope
    about lives without a soul
    that had only survived

    the verb “to live” was scary and uncaring,
    as “to survive” was sad, too practised and so weary,
    the poor flame that them all hope, belief and wish
    was almost burnt, damned, rotten, and crying in his mud
    oh you horrible lovers of what was icy, crud,
    that crashed ye soul’s desire under the tears and blood
    that only survive, but cannot live

    we know you’re dead inside

  2. some people want to live
    and give their best
    or to learn every day
    and to hear their own beats
    but you’ll never accept
    their all mighty courage
    for you’re so cold and scared
    you just want to survive
    you hare

  4. you survive without me
    I care not what you think
    You survive with me
    I cling to your hand
    you are that which brings me hope
    I survive in you

    Let me touch you
    breathe you
    hear you
    know you

    I survive for you.

  7. Sometimes all you can do is survive. There isn’t much else to do except try to get by and wake up tomorrow and hope it’ll get better. But one morning or one afternoon, you get tired…tired of scraping by, tired of just surviving and you want more.

  8. The darkness is complete, stretching out around me like I’m drowning in an inkpot. Black. An owl hoots close by and I jump, my heart thundering in a bid to let me know I’m still alive. Barely.

    My mind runs the prayers like a broken record, looping the whispered mantras, “Lord God protect me, let me live, have mercy…”

    Gunshots are getting closer, my feet keep pounding in the dark. The forest closes in around me. Sentient trees watch me in the dark.

    God, just let me survive this night…

  9. i will not survive this life of mine
    for it is meant to be short
    like my comings as a friend
    to the ones who mean the most
    yet i push so far away
    in my life only so many people survive
    until i choose to put out their flame
    but oh how i miss them all so

  10. yes i can and i will. mind over everything

  11. She didn’t know what to do.
    She had kicked her out, told her to disappear forever.

    She had said she never wanted to see her again.

    But see, that just wasn’t an option.
    She needed her to survive.

    She knew everyone would tell her to just get over it, but she knew what she knew, and she knew that this woman was such a part of her that she couldn’t live without her.

    Fuck what the masses say.

  12. They tell you you have to survive.
    They even tell you how to survive.
    They give you a strategy they look at the obvious.
    They find ways to cope, ways to block it all out.
    They tell you this is survival.
    Is it really?
    What is survival when you can feel so alive?
    No need to cope, just live, no way to block it out just accept.

  13. i carved your name to survive, driftwood. and lost on the shores of lakes. forgive and forget, we kill to survive. but love, its love. its love, i swore it was. but you weren’t the one they said. survive the viciousness of your hurricane love.

  14. Fully intending to survive the encounter, the kamakaze-like mouse peered over the edge of the balcony, hesitating for seconds only. Leaping forward, paws splayed, tail flapping, it leapt out over the twenty-three carpeted stairs. Landing with a bounce, he recovered his composure,darting into the front room. Meanwhile, the bounding, scrabbling dog, still on the chase, frantically tried to round the corner.

  15. i really think abut survival very little. its really stupid to think about surviving when we have all the necessary things to survive. all we think about is what we want nto really what we need. i think that survivial is thought of by some as simply what you want instead of the bare necessities. its really stuoid actually that people don’t think more about those of us who can’t even afford clean water.

  16. how to survive a recession?
    there are n number of people ready with advice on this subject. however people in india and the third world are far from affected from this buzz term. floods, famine, hunger and malaise are our greatest worries and kill more people than any other country on earth.

  19. I will survive the world and all that is in it. It is the end of all humanity but that is what I live for. That is why I’m alive so tat I may outlive all the universe and still love myself and appreaciate all that is in this world and all that was and all that was supposed to come.

  20. to survive… surviving in a world where it needs the balance of both peace and war. There can’t be peace without war and there will always be war in this world. NO matter how many sacrifices

  21. everyone wants it. some are inflicted with it.. we struggle to do it.. and struggle to succeed… we need love to do it.. with out it we can’t.. passion helps compel it..

  22. I can survive, right? I mean sure on a physical level I’m this white upper middle class kid, of course I’ll eat tomorrow and I should be glad for that, but I get this nagging feeling I’m not good enough. Spiritually I’m not going to survive realistically… unless something changes

  23. Survive? Yes I will. I just get so frustrated. I get tired of being the only one who does anything. Why can’t I seem to… I don’t know. Just breathe. Take it one breath, one step at a time. I will survive.

  24. People have to survive extreme conditions on a daily basis. Soldiers in iraq; homeless children on the streets; single mothers trying to make ends meet for their children- all examples of people surviving.

  25. Just two more days. If she could make it two more days, then things would bee all right. She never thought that she would ever have to push herself to the breaking point like this. It was an unusual and exhilarating experience.

  26. I shall survive!!!! That song kept ringing in my head as I thought about this awful breakup between me and Mike. What’s that song’s name? i don’t know? I just heard it once long ago… It’s a good song…

  27. As you survive the pain he has brought you,you feel the least sadness and feel proud.

  28. Once again as i put my words onto paper and try to make sense of what i write..not to me but to the person who will read it. all makes sense to me..but my meanings should survive your scrutiny..else how do i communicate..how do we survive?

  29. something i will inevitably fail at. something i find incredibly difficult and draining.

  30. All Jack needs to do now is keep going. Without him, without Joseph (painful like a piece of him is gone too), but he can do it. He just has to duck his head under the wrath of his father’s gaze, the misguided sympathy of his mother’s, and survive. (If a substantial amount of alcohol comes into play too, well, that’s just coincidence.)

  34. The Packers just couldn’t survive the threat of their own TRAITOR quarterback combined with the power of the Vikings’ crazy offense… and the scary fans, might I add… sorry, can’t think about anything else right now.

  35. I have to make it. I can’t just lay here, dying and hoping someone will find me and save me. I’m bleeding like crazy and it hurts like hell, but I know I’ll make it. I have too much to live for. There’s too much I want to do with my life.

    I have to survive.

  36. i could survive a zombie attack. i would escape without a bruise, a broken bone, a cut, nothing more than a tiny scrape.

    die zombies die.

  39. It’s really not that hard to survive. Just eat, drink water and sleep. Nothing else really matters. People really do make life too difficult. Why must everything be so stressful? It isn’t hard to live life. We should just turn life into a social experiment.
