Dear cancer, I am far from amused by your sorry excuse for invading me, my body YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION I don’t like the abuse Being used Just some poor excuse Your pity thrown on me like some kind of cheap blanket or soiled suit Then discarded and forgotten I’m left feeling kind of rotten and alone like an orphan with out a home his parents disowned This is how cancer feels Like a horrible, no good very bad day that you don’t know how you’re ever going to make it go away So I will sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray Hoping to God, he is hearing what I have to say He will take it all away Then maybe I can live to see another day Wish upon another star If you haven’t figured it out yet CANCER ***** So do the scars I do not like it I hate it With a passion Cancer does not have my permission to be inside of my body Eating away at My organs or tearing down my soul I will not give in to cancer Cancer will never have control CANCER ***** It really does

I Sit & I Pray The Cancer Away (slam poetry/spoken word)
Dear cancer, I am far from amused by your sorry excuse for invading me, my body YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION I don’t like the abuse Being used Just some poor excuse Your pity thrown on me like some kind of cheap blanket or soiled suit Then discarded and forgotten I’m left feeling kind of rotten and alone like an orphan with out a home his parents disowned This is how cancer feels Like a horrible, no good very bad day that you don’t know how you’re ever going to make it go away So I will sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray Hoping to God, he is hearing what I have to say He will take it all away Then maybe I can live to see another day Wish upon another star If you haven’t figured it out yet CANCER ***** So do the scars I do not like it I hate it With a passion Cancer does not have my permission to be inside of my body Eating away at My organs or tearing down my soul I will not give in to cancer Cancer will never have control CANCER ***** It really does
Cancer is a hard strenuous and very expensive disease to live with, I have had to cut back on work since my diagnosis and I’m struggling a bit financially to stay afloat.
