Cancer

When I get cancer, which I undoubtably will.

I'm not going to let a single tear spill.

It's no use trying to fight the inevitable.

Why be brave just to fall?

I'll say "I've been expecting you, what took you so long?".

I've enjoyed a life filled with poetry and song.

I could have more but it is only materialistic.

Time to let go of empty gestures and get realistic.

When I feel cancer, which I am sure I would.

I will know that life is moving as it should.

It needs a trigger but it has always been there.

Gaining in strength as I'm losing my hair.

I'll say "Do your worst, I've got nothing to lose".

You're not a companion that I can choose.

I know the chemo would just make me tired and burn.

All I have to do is wait my turn.

When I surrender to cancer, which I must I guess.

It is just waste matter that will go to rest.

My soul will live on in a newborn's eyes.

A new life has started as another one dies.
