Evil Within
It came inside
So silent and stealthy
Not caring if I was Sick
Or totally healthy
It hid inside
Unnoticed and unseen
As if it were a ghost
Malevolent and mean
Waiting to attack
And wreak havoc inside of me
Destroying my body’s defenses
Without remorse or pity
It spread like the plague
Infecting all in its path
Spreading its sickness
In the wake of its wrath
My body is now ill
But I'll not find a cure
From this blackness within
It’s the death of me for sure
I don’t understand
Guess I’ll never know the answer
Why so many of us need to die
Please find a cure for CANCER.
