Survival of the Fittest

By: Carmen Cooper

There's no other way to explain this. 

I have tried and many times I have failed. 

You don't wanna know the truth. 

You dismiss it like I tried to poison you.

Underneath it all you're just scared, Terrified of the future to come because you see I know. 

You can take off your mask and stop hiding from the past, and stop running.

The lies that you told were already revealed as though to deceive me. 

So you see there's no where for you to run to. 

You have already tried to revive the web of lies you still seek to spin, but the truth will set any prey free.

Once you fooled me, but there won't be a second chance. 

I remember the trap you set.

The distractions to lure me, but that's done and over with. 

For you are beneath me. 

I will no longer come to see about you, ask if you're fine,

You know this. 

You brought pain, hunger and sacrifice to my Utopia.  

Disguised as a Trojan Horse bringing all my walls down, but my darling Judas what you sought you could not have,

And that space you crave to fill will always crater your heart. 

That starving sensation will never cease because 

You need re-calibrating.

You need to change.

It was never me. 

Only you all along.

You tried to make me think I had to remove what made me, myself.

But like I said I know the truth now and you that has to evolve.

Survival of the fittest.

No one thinks like that anymore.
