Knocked Down Then I Get Up Again
Not born of fault but
purely down to chance
Each personal plight
leads troublesome dance
External factors
genes lifestyle and age
Start this desperate
denial why me stage
Physical, mental
emotional state
Well being affects
all those who relate
Sciences detect
deliver quicker
Families worry
don't want you sicker
You know your treatment
comes down to finance
Health Board decisions
can influence chance
It's a lottery
chancing your name
But worry and stress
can be nobody's game
Families concerns
of financial front
Do they need stop work
Help shoulder the brunt
Genetics play part
in medical scare
Lots to consider
maybe long term care
If image altered
will folk notice it
How long till I'm clear
Will my clothes still fit
So many questions
about all cancer's
They may not know now
But they'll find answers
