Stayin' alive

This was a prompt from Writing Companion where you are asked to write something using a song title as your title. I chose to use one of the songs that were supplied.

Inspired by the title - Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees

Hanging from the wall of life

nails dug deeply in

cringing as you feel each grain

bouncing off your chin

.

Trying to remain aloft

kicking with your feet

wondering what it would be like

underneath a sheet

.

In your head just dangling there

death you do contrive

you fight so hard to let go

why do you stay alive?
