As Long As I Can

This feeling of helplessness As I lay in a pencil line on the floor It’s so pitiful… In a twisted way I’m happy I’m alive and so are the people I love And although I’m in pain Although I am sick I’m happy… I can still look up at the sky and say I’m living… I can still hold my loved ones and tell them That I do indeed love them… I can still cry… I can still feel… I can still breathe… And as they ask how long it will last I sit and listen then say I don’t care… As long as I am able to live I will live… As long as I am able to feel I will feel… As long as I am able to love I will most certainly love…
