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
