Dear Cancer
Dear Cancer,
You have shaken lives including mine
And have thrown everything out of line
You have taken my sanity and replaced it with something much worse
Which is the thought of a hearse
So many people die
And I pray that I never have to say good-bye
My family loathes you
And I do too
You tore my family into shreds
And got inside our heads
You consumed my life
And made it feel as if I was being stabbed by a knife
I had a great life
But then you filled it with strife
This challenge is not easy
And makes me queasy
But I am becoming a new me
However I still don’t know if I should flea
You have given me so much pain
To the point that I am going insane
Although it cannot be seen
I secretly scream
I never thought it would be me
This is my plea
Cancer, please take this in the best way
But simply Go away!
