Tumor
It started as one and then grew up inside my like a child
It went on to have a kid, that kid moved out
It moved up the road into a valley at the neck
These things bellowed inside of me
They were fine at first, but then they grew too big
They began to take my food and my energy because they needed to grow
I cared for them like I would a child
And like a child they shaped me into a different human being
Their names were tumor one and tumor two
They put me through hell, but I came back again
They were the best and worst thing that ever happened to me
I wanted to say “thank you”
Thank you for not killing me
Thank you for teaching me what life is really about
Thank you for making me meet my best friend
Thank you showing me who my friends really were
Thank you for making me grow up
Thank you for humbling me
Thank you for leaving me
Goodbye tumor one and two
You will forever be apart of my life even though you are no longer with us
Goodbye cancer, thank you for all you have done
