It’s not a lot that I can give, not a lot that I have, It’s just a drop in the bucket toward my goal to be better. But even so, I wish I could give more than I’ve given myself, Everything I have and anything I’ve had So it didn’t go to waste Rotting in a corner, in a room, in a space That I can never go to again, Or rather don’t want to go to once more But rather reminisce about Something that isn’t the burden And weight that’s taken place in my heart When I can’t look at someone else and say I’ve done them right for once. Futile, as my efforts are ‘Cause until now there’s not a lot I can find That would be worth the effort or time Others have to wait for something As big as beating cancer, as small as a birthday, And from someone like me On a day like that, of all days. But I can give myself And I can be here, Forever, however long that is, If someone would like, I can be

I wrote this ages ago and apparently I didn't post it here, or I did and I just can't find it XD
