I wake up with a headache I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late 'twas so foolish to hope that I'd understand your game I know what I gotta do Too lazy to get outta bed for you And gulp it down with a glass of water to ease this pain I see now what I saw before I didn't know what it was for sure Till it worked just like paracetamol I woke up There it was Once that killed Without a cause Those dreams that turned into nightmares Those arms that gave away time shares Feels like history since the last time I needed help but still There's life waiting to be celebrated It's no longer so complicated Thanks to my prayers from the day I wanted more from life And for the small white pill

The Small White Pill
I wake up with a headache I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late 'twas so foolish to hope that I'd understand your game I know what I gotta do Too lazy to get outta bed for you And gulp it down with a glass of water to ease this pain I see now what I saw before I didn't know what it was for sure Till it worked just like paracetamol I woke up There it was Once that killed Without a cause Those dreams that turned into nightmares Those arms that gave away time shares Feels like history since the last time I needed help but still There's life waiting to be celebrated It's no longer so complicated Thanks to my prayers from the day I wanted more from life And for the small white pill
This poem is my vision for the common day to arrive whereby Cancer can be treated with a small white pill, that can be taken just like any other painkiller. We have lost many valuable lives out of no fault of their own as a result of Cancer. The world misses them, and I miss them too. Here's a toast to all the hard working scientists and people who are dedicating their lives to find a cure for this nasty beast.
