May I have a sip? In the cup of life? I wish to be well For this lifelong strife Bones are cracking HanDs are numbing Body is shaking Heart is aching Oh! I've longed for this freedom With a meaningful smile But hEre I am, bedridden Like a caged reptile A chemo tomorrow A surgery to follow A wig that I borrow To hide whAt is hollow My friends, my loved ones Please don't cry I shall fight this sickness And will not say goodbye God give me strengTh For I shall not falter My life is a gift And yes, it does matter Lungs failing With a heavy breatHing Eyelids are bowing My life is ending

A Cancerous Demise
May I have a sip? In the cup of life? I wish to be well For this lifelong strife Bones are cracking HanDs are numbing Body is shaking Heart is aching Oh! I've longed for this freedom With a meaningful smile But hEre I am, bedridden Like a caged reptile A chemo tomorrow A surgery to follow A wig that I borrow To hide whAt is hollow My friends, my loved ones Please don't cry I shall fight this sickness And will not say goodbye God give me strengTh For I shall not falter My life is a gift And yes, it does matter Lungs failing With a heavy breatHing Eyelids are bowing My life is ending
For my childhood friend who died of lung cancer. From the day we've met until the day you've bled. That smile you've kept, I shall never forget
