When being you is not that great

When being you is not that great
Because cancers got you feeling sick
When you just want your right to breathe
When times you wish you were never born
Let me give you a hug so you know you are adored
And I know that you will still be sick
Let me hold your hand and cry with you
Let me make you happy even though we know
That it will soon end let our souls laugh
Masquerade the pain that does not go away.
When being you is not that great
Because you’re throwing up all day
The chemotherapy has you in such misery
And still the cancer will not leave
Let me hug you so you will know that I love you.
I would go hungry I would go black and blue
I would drag myself across the earth for you
But let my warm embarrass be enough
As we hold each other know that my heart aches with you
Know that there is nothing that I would not do
And though I cannot make your dreams come true
That is really Gods job to do.
I will hold you for a million years
Because that’s what a friend would do
So when you’re not happy being you
Know that I am here for you
Let me hug you so you know that you are adored.
