I learned from the female dragonfly
That when a male dragonfly gets sexually aggressive
And she fears he will assault her
She falls to the ground
Her body sprawled,
Fakes her death
The male dragonfly leaves her alone
She springs back to life and runs away

Maybe I should fake my death
Next time a guy advances on me
Maybe I should practice from now
I have a feeling, it is going to happen again

This was a really interesting perspective. There are a lot of parallels we can draw from instances in nature, and incorporating them into creative pieces like this is always good to see.

I couldn't have said better than Chess!

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

I love this, however, I do hope you're okay.
