Scary Cancer


My name is Hazel. I’m sixteen. Thyroid with mets in my lungs. I’m okay


Support Group

It was an endless scroll of people

I kept getting distracted

Anyway, I really did like being alone


What am I at war with? My cancer

After I finished, there was quite a long period of silence


It’s a metaphor

Let me guess

He flashed his crooked smile


Why? Why would you even like me?

Because you’re beautiful


My name is Hazel. Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life
