I Am

I take away the smiles of millions From older people all the way down to children When you find me there's never a loving thing to say All I do is take your loved ones away Sometimes people get rid of me But I'm never gone too long I can attack your liver, brain, breasts and even lungs Hoping one day that my existence is no more Parents who live long lives with kids that they adore Healthy babies who have a chance to achieve their dreams The ones who are brave enough to say it isn't as bad as it seems My life isn't full of glamour No fashionable outfits or flashing cameras Just short days, pains and anger I Am. . .
