Cancer

by Ten Feet Tall   Dec 11, 2004


In the doctor’s office,
I was told,
Because of this condition,
I may never grow old.

I would probably die,
If it went untreated.
Death crept upon me,
And I wanted to cheat it.

Possibilities came,
Then floated away in the air.
You see the only way to beat it,
Was by losing my hair.

What will others think,
When they see a bald headed me?
Won’t they understand?
Won’t they see?

I’m still the same person,
That I was before.
Some things are missing,
But I just won a war.

    First off, thanks for the comments. Second off, I guess I need to say that I'm not in remission...because I never had cancer. This is just something I wrote when there was the possibility of me having it. So I just needed to clear that up for you guys. :)
