A Thief Called CANCER
by Beautifuly Abstrackk Poetry
Cancer…
WHERE DID U COME FROM
An unwanted presence that I didn’t ask for
You strip away my Identity
Make me wish that I weren’t even me
You pull at my energy
Eat away at my faith
Thinking some days wondering if I’m even safe
Praying that when I close my eyes that it’s not my last day
Going through treatments hoping that it works.
Looking my family in their eyes knowing that it hurts
Doctors give me hope, knowing that hope doesn’t exist
Sweet kiss of betrayal for my life is numbered in days
Trying to go back and clean up all my selfish and dirty ways...
Yet I mourn the loss of my own death
This stigma that just decided to take over my life and run
Looking in the mirror at a face that I don’t even know
That glow I once had fade away and turn to black
My confidence I had was a blemish
Trying to fight for something that was once mine
Praying on both knees I don’t have to pay back borrowed time.
What are u...
Are you the karma that has been waiting for years to come back and only equipped me with tears
My fears haunt me
My feelings taunt me
Not able to control how much longer I have to show this world…
Cancer came like a thief in the night
Took ownership of my joy
I wish for that day
the day that I can wake up and Cancer is No more
