Fight against Death by Lilia Rodriguez-Bogarin Withering body, don’t lose your fight Keep on trying to stay alive Body aches, can barely move But I’m smiling to hide the truth Familiar faces care for me Trying to talk but can hardly speak Withering body, don’t lose your fight Keep on trying to stay alive Sweetest dreams that come to me Seeing people no one else can see Confusing thoughts not helping me Oh, why is this happening Can’t catch my breath but staying strong I’m trying to hold on Sound is distant, something’s wrong I squeeze a hand, is all hope gone Withering body, don’t lose your fight Keep on trying to stay alive Body’s giving up But know I’ve tried I’m not leaving without a fight Withering body, give me time Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
