Cancer

I do not like the sound of what I just found out After all the aftershock might just take me down It's hard to whisper CANCER when CANCER screams out loud A sucker punch in the gut to knock the breath right out Leaving in the questioning of how much time is left Also in the wondering of how you measure it What is the first to give out the body or courage And is there a way that I can change from out of this death mask Pull the covers tighter the days are growing cold Feel free my love to tidy up sweeping hair from off the floor This isn't at all how life was to unfold Never thought being this young would make me feel so old I wish you could take this from me and toss it in the trash Digging deep at this disease until there's nothing left I don't know who to quote but I'm sure someone has said It's hard to whisper CANCER with CANCER screaming in your head I've lost too many friends to cancer and have one right now losing that battle
