Until My Dying Breath

 When they see me, they've always seen strength I possess.
I feel I've let them down,
But I cannot pretend. 

 They try to help because they want to see me fight.
But what happens if I'm weak?
If I've lost the will to fight?

The battle is waging, yet I want no part.
It's between life and death,
But I just want to watch.

I don't have the will nor the courage to stand.
Sometimes it's there and then it's gone again.

What must I do now? You're all that I have left.
Sometimes I don't want you,
But I know I need your help.

I cannot be strong as they want me to be;
I cannot fight the way they wish;
But help me find strength in the way that you lead,
And teach me to fight until my dying breath.
