Deadly cells find comfort in my body They grow and destroy my mind inside I slowly die, my soul turns into a graveyard this pain robs me of energy cancer oh how I hate what you have done to me you infect me with agony that spreads like the ocean touching every corner of my body leaving me to fight this pain which makes me feel deserted in a world full of many Inside its cold and lonely, outside feels so empty I fought you for years, gave you so many tears as you flirted with my fears cancer what do you want from me if it is my life you seek, my life you won't get for that I will fight till the end of time I will not give up, for I am a survivor I was born to be stronger, hold on longer Fight this battle with the love I get from others Cancer I will overcome you one way or another for I am a survivor
This piece was written for a co-worker of mine, to help her get through her battle with cancer. Thank you all for the support and reaching out to me.
