"Given the chance, I would live"
I love this because if you look at it one way, it doesn't really make sense- because obviously you have to be alive to write this, haha.
But when I look at it, it makes perfect sense to me. It makes me want to say, "Me too."
I feel like it's about searching and wanting an opportunity to make a difference, make a change,
but it just can't be found. At least not right now?
I don't know- I'm horrible at interpreting other people's work.
Thanks for entering the contest, I loved all your entries.
You say so much in six words, but leave so much out. And it works so, so well, leaving the reader to make up their own backstories and characters, points of view and scenarios. My particular favourite is "Given the chance, I would live".
I also love the title in general. It has a kind of lyricism about it.
