Lung Cancer

So many times that I've been disappointed

I'm not alone, I know

but these circumstances drown me

in the feeling

I wish, and hope for things

I cry and plead with your logical self

Please listen!

but you never do

I try to care about your life, and I

just want you to care

someday I hope you can

for his sake

for your sake

for mine

I just want better for us,

how did I become the enemy

Please! could you explain it to me?

I'm worried

I'm afraid

I'm paranoid with good reason

 

and when finally you seem to acknowledge

the danger

It's never lasted

you just fall back down

without good reason

I'm sad

I'm scared

I'm disappointed
