Day by Day we take what we can,
Month by Month we learn what we can,
Year by Year, we suffer as little as we can.
People dont realise, the suffering we go through,
the torment,
the heartbreak,
the struggle,
of trying to stay alive.
We get told this is how we are going to die,
yet we try and make sure,
we die some other way.
We endure excruiating pain,
to live even a short while longer.
We lose our dignity,
while we struggle to fend for ourselves.
we lose everything,
we have ever hoped for.
But its not the end of the world,
we sometimes survive,
i am one of those,
and i am proud,
dont take things for granted.
dont watse time,
you never know,
when yours will run out.
