i'm still getting sicker
but you can't even see
i know it's because you think
there's still too much of me
i'm dying inside
i'm wasting away
but it's like you don't listen
to anything that i say
you offer to help
but then turn away
you tell me "just eat"
you tell me to pray
you think that i like this
that it's some kind of game
so why do i feel guilty
alone
and ashamed?
so i turn to another
one i know understands
who offers me love and support
not just guilt and demands
and then you get angry
say that you feel betrayed
and you say you would have helped me
if only i had stayed
but i know the truth
you don't understand what i say
and i need the help now
as i die
day by day
