Confession Booth

M.E.M.

I fear the cancer will come back

and I won’t be strong enough.

Last time was really rough

because it was all new, but I don’t lack

the knowledge of this attack.

My parent say I am tough

enough. That I am built of harder stuff,

than what invaded my body with a crack!

 

Cancer is a formidable force

and I don’t know if my body can take much more.

I made sure my body did not show remorse

when the chemo began to pour. 

I state this confession to reinforce

that I have been through war.
