Cancer: Poem By Me

By in teendeja, Uncategorized on July 16 2007

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some of my poetry with you, I know some of you have been asking to see it and so I thought i’d post it in my blog. This one is called cancer, it was written 2 years ago and is for a loved one. Enjoy….

Eyes set on addiction;
intense and drawing close.
Searching for my answer;
fighting off this next dose.
This is my cancer…
Yearning for daylight;
when the calling drowns away.
Stay focused and don’t move an inch;
my vision can be shielded one more day.
This is my cancer…
Night always falls;
and the wolves always howl.
Prescriptions and lessons;
can’t feed the hunger that growls.
This is my cancer…
It’s fierce and deadly;
and has no conscience.
It holds no sympathy;
only feeds on your sickness.
This is my cancer…
Weak I am not;
yet my pride does not bend.
First you must surrender;
becoming the equal of the evil you fend.
This is my cancer;
But only I can give into death.
