They ask;
"How are you feeling?"
I have no words for them, they all fall short.
They don't really want to know anyways.
What they are really asking is;
"Are you going to be able to support us by doing everything that you normally do?
What can I say?
I will keep going as long as I can.
No longer,
No shorter,
With a smile on my face.
And pain in my heart.
