Illusion of Completion

I don't want to be different.
Please don't turn away.
Cause maybe the pain is worth it,
maybe the warmth makes it okay.
I'm certainly aware of pain.
I know my body well.
Don't tell me to treat it better,
I'm not stupid I can always tell,
I can see when i'm flagging,
when my strength is fading fast.
Dreams and schemes are put to rest
cause the hope and endurance won't last.
If you need my help, need a hand,
don't turn to others, please understand,
I need to serve, Need to be needed
God won't let me be helpless.
won't let me lay down defeated.
I'm a soldier and I'll fight this fight.
I'll keep on walking
through the long long night.
Will you walk with me as equals?
Walk hand in hand?
I'm asking you darling,
Can you please understand?
Give me a hug, tell me what you need.
When you treat me like I'm still whole
you become a friend indeed.
