Cancerous

Shattered glass, around my feet,
every where I go,
every where I turn. 
My plans, my dreams, all shattered,
at my feet, and I'm to walk on them. 
This is not survivor,
but a soldier, 
it's a battle, and I am its victim. 
Cruel life, it laughs at me,
but all I can do is stay silent.  
It has bitten into my bones,
squeezing my life out of my body and soul. 
Now that I know the truth in me,
I cannot flee myself, 
I let the ill wind blow in my face,
until it will blow me away from this platform 
to my grave. 
Nothing is ever so cancerous.
