Waste of Hope

life is filled with pain 
disease is eating at my brain 
sorrow is all I know 
each moment feels so slow 
still, I keep on going 
hiding my feelings by joking 
how can anyone understand 
unless they've seen it first hand? 
what right do you have to give me advice? 
what makes you think you're so wise? 
I'm the one who has to live this life 
I'm the one who faced decades of strife 
Let's see you try 
I give you a week before all you want is to die
