Fear Not
your fear is tangible
cancer has caught up with you
vulnerability has overtaken you
I see you yearn for a warm embrace
it’s obvious to me
you're the hurt little boy back when
you cried himself to sleep
why me? why me?
you’d since been charmed
but worry now
your luck might
soon run out
far from ready to opt
out of the game of life
you throw the dice and
give it all you’ve got
