Cancer

I’m gonna die

I refuse to believe, that

To be diagnosed with cancer

People are saying it’s no death sentence;

I live on that hope

However,

I can’t breathe from the shock

I’m glad my friend is here because

I need all the support I can get and

I wonder how much more I can take.

More metastasised tumours

Creates

Stress,

I highly doubt

I’ve gotten off lightly because

Treatment sucks but

The nurses make it easier as

I feel sick all the time and

You can try to convince me that

This is God’s plan and

He has my back so

I’m to trust that

I can rejoice in everything while

My world feels so dark even so,

But

They say it happens for a reason

and

I will use this to help others,

At the end of the day,

When I’m in the shadows, there

I want to reach out

Despite knowing its foolish to think that

I will survive
