Dying From Cancer: part I

Dear Unspoken Diary,
Im writing in you cause i dont know what to do.
I found out that im dieing from cancer last Tuesday,
it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact it's true.

I was so confused when the doctor told me,
my mother started to cry.
I couldnt believe that I was dying at such an age,
but I didnt cry, I whipped the tears from my mothers eyes.

I hugged her and whispered in her ear,
"It's all going to be okay."
knowing deep inside,
I was just as very much afraid.

Today is exactly one week from Tuesday,
and now I cant seem to escape.
The pain has gotten worse,
and im losing a bit of me each day.

Each day I smile less,
each day my laughter slowly goes,
each day is becoming more like hell,
because this sickness... me it chose.

I'm starting to lose my hair,
and becoming frail and weak.~
Seeing the doctor every month,
how long am I going to last this time?
Maybe a few more weeks.~

~Living 2 Die

    Wow... this is so sad and full of emotion! the only suggestion i have for you is to make it flow more... it was very well written, but there were some parts that didnt exaclty flow as nice as the rest... other than that it was very well thought out and decently written! keep up the good work!

    Its true about my friends baby sister. she is dieing from cancer and thats why i wrote this. she inspired me to write something not many people write about, yet, many people care.
    she is so beautiful! after all she's been through... she is just so strong for a 11 year old. stronger than me i can honestly say.

    What can I say? You handled the topic beautifully and your carefully selected words have maybe made a little more awareness? I am sorry for anyone who has to feel this pain but I am glad you have shown it in this poem. As sad as it is I had to rate it five because any writer that makes the reader feel something is an excellent writer and you made ALOT. =)
