Still going after my 9th year of surviving...
Silently you crept onto my weakened chest;
Grew huge until pain flooded my core,
Then put inner will to an arduous test.
You were found when I undressed;
Gently rubbed where I was sore,
Silently you crept onto my weakened chest.
Slowly you took away all my zest,
But I wanted to even the score;
Then put inner will to an arduous test.
I did what I thought to be the best;
So I fought your callous bloody war,
Silently you crept onto my weakened chest.
Thought this must be my life’s quest;
Thus I fought like I have never fought before,
Then put inner will to an arduous test.
I consider myself extremely blessed;
Fighting like a lion’s fierce roar.
Silently you crept onto my weakened chest;
Then put inner will to an arduous test.
