Cancer

by JL   Aug 17, 2005


I'm really really trying
but on the inside I'm still dying
All the pills do nothing
they haven't since spring
Chemo will work they say
however, deaths on his way
i dont know why he wants me
I'm not a sight to see
stick thin, fallen out hair
blackened skin, eyes seeing wats not there
bones so weak
i feel like a freak
my family continues to stand by
as i cause them to cry
today i went peacefully, being read a psalm
my left now left to be embalmed

*altho this is in a cancer patients pov, i was heavily influenced by wat my uncle johnny told me about his chemo 7 radiation experiences before he died*
****blackened skin= radiation treatment
