Predators and Prey
We all live on the food chain
Even if we cannot see it
There are predators that lurk
And those of us who are prey
Fight as prey might
It always ends up running
Never can the predator be defeated
Only postponed for a night
Living under the gaze of their eyes
Constantly aware, on the look out
Never knowing the next attack
Until it's already happening
We can run, or we freeze
Fear's hold so paralyzing
That all we can think of is survival
And try to be a pleasing prey
