i am a cancer survivor


i am a cancer survivor call violence where rival gangs kill each other over territory i am a cancer survivor call ignorance where a fight breaks out over stepping on somebody's kicks i am a cancer survivor call stupidity where people don't understand that common sense is only common i am a cancer survivor call poverty where at one time i was a welfare recipient hungry to climb that ladder in which i would never fall again i am a cancer survivor call belligerent where kids think it's appropriate to call their mother a bitch i am a cancer survivor call compromise where one have the talent to go far, but settles for less to embrace someone that have no value i am a cancer survivor call war where the battle rages on like two bull locking horns, but for what cause-bragging rights about making scores that would make derrick rose retire at the age of 23 cancer is contagious if you don't catch it early, it gets too big and kills you
