Brain Cancer
Coming from the division of abnormal cells
Some say I’m from the pits of hell
In the brain is where I lay
Creating struggles each and everyday
Making her forget what she wants to say
For no reason she will have to pay
Will she live or will she die?
Making all of her family and friends cry
I smile as the children scream “Oh God why?”
The doctors say one thing and I’ll do the other
I give no hint of when this will be over
I feed on stress and I slowly grow
I make things fast when she needs them slow
When will I stop?
When will I go?
Only the passing of time will let them know
I care not for those who weep
For they haven’t seen me when I’m at my peak
I slowly rise like the sunset
Like time I don’t care if they’re ready yet.
