I used to be fine.
But, you broke me.
I was tough.
But, you made me weak.

These metaphorical scar’s haunt me,
Leaving its bitter trails in my heart.
At every corner of my mind,
it waits for the perfect moment.
The moment to stab me.

I try,
but, they won’t see it,
they won’t care.

I’m drowning in pain,
while all they see is a smile.
They watch me burn.
They let me suffer.

When light shines on me,
I must smile and laugh.
But as nighttime comes,
I am free to sob into my pillow.

At night, I am free to be sad,
to feel all the different things I hide.
If they notice,
I cannot tell.

If they see through me,
then they just don’t seem to care.
I just wish to have support.
They took my life away from me,
and burned it to ashes.

I wish to be free,
to be happy.
But, they stabbed my heart,
there were only shreds left.

I am forced to call you family,
Even against my will.
I will forever hate you,
even if you are my parents.
It used to be so clear
I saw it everyday
That freckled face
I knew it very well
That crease in your forehead
When your smile raised your eye brows
I knew every detail
Like the painting in the hallway
Hung in wait for my every morning passing
I studied it as I brushed my teeth
Got lost in it every sun rise
My hand glides along the landscape of your hips
Studying you like each brush stroke
Made with the attention of an artist
The scars you got as a kid
I knew all the stories behind them
Youve become a familiar stranger
Our lives once unraveled together
I don't know you anymore
Once my world, now a chapter
I see your expression for a second
Then it begins to fade and scatter
Im starting to forget your face
And the echo of your laughter
Spring has sprung,
Fleecies off we have flung,
Blue skies, breezes' balm,
Blossoms drift do charm,
Sunny days, kind and mild,
Springing--we have smiled!

He sees her in the window
Staring down at him
Her faithful servant
In the world of not to be

They were once together
So heavenly
Romeo met his Juliet
Two hearts who did believe
In all that is good
That they were meant to be
Together forever
Indeed endlessly

But love and fate did combine
And did disappoint  
Their love exists but they’re apart
She gives him a sign
That she still cares
A smile and a wave
Then she turns away
She can’t bring back
Their yesterday
If I have just one more day
I will fight forever
Give up nothing
Till the end of my days come
I will not be afraid
I will never turn my back and run
This is the path chosen for me
I may break but never be done
Courageous
I will have faith where there used to be none
I will fight for me
I will be strong
This cancer cannot bind me
Cannot beat me down
It’s shadow will not dim my light
Until I’m 6 feet in the ground
With every single heartbeat……….
I will rise up and defy all odds
I will fight until forever
If I have just one more day
Cancer *****!
I was diagnosed with stomach cancer on April 10, 2025. Until the call from the doctor, I believed it was never going to be me, I thought I cannot get cancer. Little did I know cancer does not discriminate. It does not look at your race, gender and especially age. I am only 48 years old and I have cancer.. It is still sinking in, but this poem is how I feel about my diagnosis and my journey, I will fight until the bitter end. Cancer will have to take me kicking and screaming, dragging me all the way. I am resilient, I am strong, I want to live! #CANCERSUCKS

melancholic mosquitos
pin my arms like dot points
as the sun descends to uncover
oblivion
reversely illuminated in all of its
opposite glory

melancholic children
ride in car backseats under bright streetlights
they try to hunt for
oblivion
reversely illuminated in all of its
opposite glory
