Fight the Endless Fight

 

I got the news this morning About my state of decline

I never thought it would happen Always thought that I would be just fine

A Cancer it breaths inside me, and there is nowhere left to hide

The thought of death is terrifying, can I beat the odds if I have to

 

Fight, for my life, Fight for the right to stay alive, Fight, for my life the end is near and I can see the light in my eyes

 

Inside my heart is beating, breathing starts to slow

One more round of chemo is so defeating, tumours are real as they start to grow

I say my last goodbyes as all my family starts to show

They line up outside my door, when I know they just want to go as I

 

Fight for my life, Fight for the right to stay alive, Fight for my life the end is near and I can see the light in my eyes

 

I can see them staring at me, as the cars drive by real slow

It feels like I left my body, as I can only feel my soul

They carry me down the highway, I know this is my final show

I’ve lost my will to survive, Guess I just wasn’t strong enough to

 

Fight for my life, Fight for the right to stay alive, Fight for my life. The end is here and I can head into the light.
