Could You Be?
Dear cancer, I am far from amused by your sorry excuse for invading me, my body YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION I don’t like the abuse Being used Just some poor excuse Your pity thrown on me like some kind of cheap blanket or soiled suit Then discarded and forgotten I’m left feeling kind of rotten and alone like an orphan with out a home his parents disowned This is how cancer feels Like a horrible, no good very bad day that you don’t know how you’re ever going to make it go away So I will sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray, sit and I will pray Hoping to God, he is hearing what I have to say He will take it all away Then maybe I can live to see another day Wish upon another star If you haven’t figured it out yet CANCER ***** So do the scars I do not like it I hate it With a passion Cancer does not have my permission to be inside of my body Eating away at My organs or tearing down my soul I will not give in to cancer Cancer will never have control CANCER ***** It really does

I Sit & I Pray The Cancer Away (slam poetry/spoken word)
If I have just one more day I will fight forever Give up nothing Till the end of my days come I will not be afraid I will never turn my back and run This is the path chosen for me I may break but I will never be done Courageous I will have all the faith where there used to be none I will fight for me Be strong This cancer cannot bind me Cannot beat me down It’s shadow will not dim my light………..Until I’m 6 feet in the ground With every single heartbeat………. I will rise up and defy all odds I will fight until forever If I have just one more day CANCER ***** Please make it go away

Cancer Diagnosis
Sharing a lost freedom you gave us a fleeting, distanced touch of colleagues, friends, your girls free laughs flowed in honour til you passed us for the last time in this grey world and we choked a little but even then, the technicolour of next time rained, irrepressible as red laughter and leopard print

Goodbye, my friend
The last three Valentine’s Day, I’ve been haunted by a beautiful figure. An angel to the world we live in and the one we don’t. The kindest soul to ever truly deserve a Valentine’s. My baby girl. My Lydia. Breathtaking smile, long beautiful black hair, the curious thoughts she had. My Lydia. To pure to be taken, but was. A whole 5’0 tall woman so enthused by the world. A soul we miss dearly. Every year we celebrate your life that you had with us. Mine will always be our junior prom. Truth is, I saw you every day neighbor. I wish I could’ve saw you one last time..

My Fallen Valentine.
I hate the way you left me here All alone, no one left No one here to care enough To ask if I'm ok. My family said I was grieving wrong Too much Too strong I'm sorry, my heart Hurts It hurts IT HURTS! It hurts... I'm so empty And jealous of the fact That you could leave The depression And turmoil Behind you I dont understand Where your soul has gone Or why the best ones leave so soon I wasnt ready To be left alone Without you I still hope That you'll answer my texts Just one more time One more phone call One more "I love you" I'm begging Why doesnt anyone help me Please help me understand What to do Who to be Without my dad

For we haven't a clue when out of the blue our lives will be helpless to the real world's address. ~ Each day that we live we have to just give life its due process we must just confess. ~ In the morning he was ill such a wild complaining pill when the sun began to set, well then we became upset. ~ Throughout our lives we care about things others wouldn't dare yet when the truth is told nothing remains anything bold. ~ We will be strong today our courage will not sway The human condition speaks loud, no indecision can be allowed. ~ Cancer ***** it certainly does when it is why, because we will all go forward with no illusion toward. ~ Love life together and free believe in always you and me. we are given constant chance to live a life of elegance.

Love Life
I walk up the stairs so slow and afraid This is not the place I used to know Not the way I remember I expect to see your smiling face waiting for me to take your hand and bring you to that place You tried to tell me that your work here was done I smiled at you and told you how silly you were to think the cancer won You were so strong so nonchalant I hope you know you'll always have a special place in my heart When I got that call that day, I swear my heart stopped your daughter loves you more than life itself I only wish I could've helped Taken her pain away All I can do is be there for her Life is short, we say this all the time make sure you love yours before you run out of time.

Not the place I used to know
so you're dying. I don't want to believe it, even though, I see it. I see it in the agony of your smile and how much it hurts you to do so. I see it in your shortness of breath, with the weakening of your step; but the strength has not left. That blasted leukemia, why not somebody else? Someone who doesn't give a **** about their health. It's unfair. Seeing you there. Chemo after chemo one transfusion after the next, your body is giving up, the ability to heal has dissipated, although your spirit has illuminated, ****** you gave it your best! Don't ever stop breathing, please just take a breath. Don't ever stop breathing. Don't. Ever. Stop.

a world of denial
I miss the pain of your beard as you rubbed against my face. I miss your red skin. I miss the smell of your neck. I miss your stinky feet. I miss your thick hair. I miss your eyes. I miss your raspy voice. I didn't think I would miss you this much. I miss you saying, "good-morning sunshine!" as I woke. I miss your smile and crooked teeth that accompanied it. I miss every. little. thing. Why did you leave? I want you back. I want to tell you everything. I am older and I want to ask you questions I didn't think to ask before. Your death makes me feel like I wasn't good enough for you. I want to hug you. Let's go crazy one more time. Please. Months before you died I bought a pair of socks, they said "daddy's girl" I wanted you to see them. I thought you would. You played wolf… I didn't think you were going to die this time. I miss you i miss you i miss you i miss you i miss you i miss you. Why did this happen? Please come back daddy. I really miss you. I love you. please.
