Cancer

Cancer
Feeling numb, feeling blue
Isn’t much that I can do
Not my choice, not my decision
God only knows my position

I didn’t falter, stumble or cry
I just thought I know I might die
Those who know me
Know I like a fight
I now know I will need all my might

What’s the odds, I don’t know
I will just have to go with the flow
But know this, here and now
I will not crumble, I will not bow

If anyone can win this battle, it’s me
The fight is on so let’s begin
Because everyone knows I like to win.
