The Survival

Shreya Ranjith

Lyric
A burning flame ignites,
It burns, it longs, it thrives.

A cruel move by time,
Deprived of oxygen dine
It flickers, it falters, it dies.

An untimely new flame shows,
It tries, it fights, it hopes.

Reminiscent smoke remains
engulfing the struggling flame.
It strangles, it clouds, it chokes.
