Silent Killer


Oh Allah please hear my plea,

The silent killer has infested me.

Under the radar and set free

To go out with glee on a damage spree.

 

No cure yet widely known,

Especially in me since in me it has grown.

With the dropping of my jawbone,

I pray to the lord we’ll one day prone.

 

At its finest, it’s labeled stage four

The tears fell til tears no more.

I’d fulfill my dreams, to my family, I swore,

But my body is now losing a war. 

 

For the silent killer, there is no answer,

And for me, I’m done, I’m dying of cancer.
