The silent killer
The silent killer got my grandma
It grabbed her and didnt let go
starting at th unterus it took over her body
consumed by greed it spread to her lungs
the silent killer killed my granmda
it gave us no time to process
it happened to quick
even though time seemed to slow
I think it was just to prolong the pain
Greedy little cells infested her body
attacking any and al healthy tissue
while on the outside she seemed fine
she laughed and smiled and talked
while she slowly walked towards death
It could have chose anyone
why did it have to be her?
The silent killer needs to be stoped
to many precious lives it has taken
to many people to avenge
but how can we stop something we have yet to understand
the silent killer dosent just kill the host
it kills the people around them
family, friends, neighbors, lovers
The silent killer has an actual name
it goes by the same names in multiple forms
lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterian cancer
it is all cancer none the less
the silent killer is cancer and killed my grandma
