Young Cancer

These cells and these organisms keeping me alive

Sometimes they attack and react, killing me inside

Aggressive antibodies spiralling out

Gripping on to my white blood cells makin’ them tap out

 

I’ve no control

Beauty in the darkness says hello

The reaper might come and collect

I can feel the harm on my doorstep

 

Carnage in the middle of it all

The price is to high to pay, forgive me if I fall!

Grabbing onto my soul 

But it’s slipping away

 

Treatment, I call it defeatment

I’d be better off without it

I’d have carried on living, thriving 

Never worrying, never mindfully dying

 

I ask my parents for forgiveness

I attempt to make amends

So late in the game, I’m afraid its all pretend

Sentence, my pretence, darkness 

 

I welcome the light at the end of the tunnel

I hope that it comes so I won’t struggle

I always imagined I would be the root cause

I guess that\'s what makes this the most surprising situation after all
