This disease slowly but surely creeped up on me <br />A cold heartless killer that rips families apart <br />It would rather kill its victim than let you go free <br />Leaving behind a trail of death and broken hearts <br /> <br />I will undergo a painful procedure to just survive <br />That will leave my skin bruised and me in pain <br />Not really sure if I'm going to to live longer or die <br />Hopefully this procedure won't drive me insane <br /> <br />Using radiation to kill this foreign and disease <br />Al my thick black hair will fall from my head <br />But maybe if I'm lucky it just might spare me <br />Or maybe it torture my body and leave me dead <br /> <br />I will fight with all of my heart and my might <br />But chances are I won't succeed it will win <br />I'll do all that I can until my very last night <br />And all I'll be able to do is pay the wages of sin <br /> <br />Hopefully the cancer won't kill me that fast <br />Just maybe it'll give me 5 or10 years more <br />But I don't really know how long I can last <br />Things will never be like they where before <br /> <br />No one knows what will really happen to me <br />But please keep it a secret and don't shout <br />I guess that we'll all just have wait and see <br />Everyone will just have to wait and find out<br /><br />Patrick Shields<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cancer-25/
