Cancer, no longer lives here


Maybe you'll live Maybe you'll die Maybe you'll thrive Maybe you'll roll your dice No matter what, keep your fight Cancer is not something that has touched once and decided to leave The bitch took up residence a few times Took off her coat, placed it in the closet, and thought that she would be safe here Here In your body Little did she know, she wasn't safe at all The person she chose to reside in would not back down The bitch better open up the closet and put her coat back on, and walk out the door Listen here mom, cancer may take away your hair, your good health, your energy, and for a short time, your smile Not to mention it's taken your left kidney There's something it can never take away And that is your fight Mom, you are a tiger I mean your Chinese zodiac is a tiger That's besides the point As soon as you're hooked up on that iv pole, you're ready for battle, like a tiger to attack your prey. There's a twist this time, the prey is cancer You got this mom, I love you

My name is Franchessca, but you can just call me Fram, or Franny, or Frankie. It doesn't really matter I'm bad at making decisions
