Survival
by Laura
Paranoia, grip my throat and don't let go
Do it quick and let me know just what to show
I don't know when to smile or even when to cry
I feel infinite and complete in the day that yesterday dies
My heart and mind have set off to distant, nameless shores
Knowing the pain in my past has always left me wanting more
To find the elusive shred of a single, honest smile
To find a reason to live instead of surviving in denial
It's the very last promise I will ever need to make
It's knowing of all these unwritten moments at stake
But even in the darkest of nights I still want to feel her touch
And as long as she's near, I know that we'll never need very much.
