From My Diary: Sadness

From My Diary: Sadness
This day today marks the worst out of many gone bad Rollercoasters of emotions are looping through my soul Completely unexpected this information about dad Please God now answer me why his life you just stole It is an understatement saying that it was not his time Rollercoasters of emotions are looping through my soul In death we found out that his tumor was not benign The blame that I am pointing goes in many directions It is an understatement saying that it was not his time Due to the circumstance his body now lies in sections My father was not even given the opportunity to fight The blame that I am pointing goes in many directions How dare his doctor call to say his prognosis was right Unable to gather the strength to demand the right answernter My father was not even given the opportunity to fight In the end it wasn't the doctor who killed him it was cancer
