I've felt the pain, I've held it in my hands. I've wished it all away, I've prayed for life and death. I've caressed the bruising, the bleeding, the burning inside. Sometimes I wish for dying, other I'd give anything to feel alive. Breathing in becomes a chore, is there something wrong with not wanting to be in pain anymore? Leukiemia. You are the monster under my bed. You're the evil voices that echo in my head. You're the scraped knee that just won't heal, the love I cannot feel. You've torn me down. You've made me question my faith. But there's something you didn't know, you've also made me better. You've made me stronger. To feel the pain of a human being is a ************* honor! You try to destroy me, inside and out, one strike, two strike, I'm out. What you don't know leukemia, is I have no plans to let you win, you entered my body when I didn't want to let you in, but I'll fight until you're out, every day if I must. Remission isn't an option. It's a must. Riah

One strike, two strike.
