Reflex


A reflex will save you guard your body and soul keep you intact make sure you stay whole A spasm will mean the difference Between living and demise Ensure your survival Through the attacks and the lies A split decision will Determine what ensues You strive through good decisions But fail when you lose This last chance in the world Is meant to save you Who you are, what you live for, And help push you through You may hate life And all you endure It may suck with no end But you can always be sure This will still try Save your life, maybe But you know it’s there Can’t fight it, let it be There’s only one possible change To take away this lifeline Something so simple and pure Accept this blessing; say "its mine" That blessing is a heart On that with yours, aligns The love of your life No false horny crimes The fake and deadly "loves" Cannot hold true You think their pleasure great But they always screw you The reflex gives up only For the feeling you feel If it’s willing to give your life, for them You know it’s real
