Cancer

Fighting with cancer is not a dinner party

 

Cancer

Eating away at you
The inside out
It's a silent killer
But not like gas
You can't feel the gas
But Cancer is there
Hurting you and eating at you
You want to hang on
But you can't seem to get out of the rut
How can things be so horrible
For you
But so amazing for them
Will you ever be well enough
To just be yourself
With your friends
Our will that time
never come again

Author's Note

My friend is fighting bone cancer right now and she is still only thirteen, such as myself. This is for everyone who has had someone close tot hem struggle with cancer.

That was great. My grandma had fought lung and breast cancer. She is now fighting emphysema and I am so sorry that your friend has bone marrow cancer and is only thirteen like you and me. I hope she gets well again. I know how you feel watching someone you care about that is in pain and you can't help them. So, that poem was very good. i could feel how you feel. There is not many cancer poems usally everyone writes about love. But, you wrote about a killer that no one can stop, Cancer. Hope you write more poems that reach out to people. Thank you for reconizing people that suffer from cancer. Again jope your friend gets better!
