Cancer called for me.
I wish I hadn't answered.
It wanted too much.
Chemo is brutal.
It wanted to take me out,
But that's cancer's job.
Radiation *****
Fries you from the inside out;
It's sneaky that way.
Cancer - just a word;
Until it silences me,
I give it no voice.
That silly cancer
Tries to kick my ample ***
Good luck with that, *****
Cancer takes a break.
Is it gone or just hiding?
I'll know soon enough.
Here I am again,
Caught in cancer's undertow.
Will I sink or swim?
Poison floods my veins.
The death battle reignites.
Will I win this round?
Snowflakes at window
Beg me to come out and play.
If only I could...
Hey, cancer... hear this!
You **** a big bag of *****
I'm coming for you!

I love haikus. Sometimes I think in them. These are about my ongoing battle with cancer.
