Can You Survive?

You know you can survive;

When you feel nothing,

When you expect nothing,

And on nothing you can thrive.

You know you can survive;

When you're so focussed on target,

Others' opinions fail to irritate,

Then you are truly alive.

You know you can survive;

When everybody else call you a failure,

When they dismiss your ideas as queer,

Yet you still retain your faith and drive.
