Weaker than Before
Lungs weak like a flower
Once stepped on there is no reviving
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out
A human ability gifted to us at birth slowly disappearing
Why give us life if it is taken away too quickly?
Fake smiles appearing when with family
Frowns appearing when alone
A mask to hide your scared eyes
A mask to hide me teary eyes
Do I have the capability to save you from this cruel world?
Vulnerability getting more intense everyday
Let me help you
Even if ends with me being the one who is gone
I need you
Fight a little longer
As the days pass by we both get more scared
We cannot face the reality that is running towards us
Please help me stop this clock that is ignoring my pleas
Is anyone listening to me?
I feel so alone right now
Both of us struggling in different ways
You are struggling to find air to reach your lungs
I am struggling to find the will to go on
We both need to promise that we will fight until the end
How will this end for the both of us?
