SURVIVAL

flower, life, yellow flower-887443.jpg

Being confident in your mistakes

Is where your learning takes place

No matter how adamantly you yearn

One must study hard to learn

The rules to survive

In a life that some despise

Are non-negotiable

When you realize what’s at stake

Accepting a train of thought

Of words and phrases taught

Is a challenge to the young

Like hearing a foreign tongue

But has to be endured

For your future needs insured

Lest they fail in this task

And be found rummaging in the trash

Of their peers that have completed

Their studies and succeeded

In a life so unforgiving…
