No Matter

No matter, what size you are,
No matter, your age or gender,
No matter, the team you support,
Cancer, is not a pretender!
No matter, your creed or colour,
No matter, what you do for a living,
No matter, if you eat healthy or not,
Cancer, is not forgiving!
No matter, if you're poor,
No matter, if you're rich,
No matter, if your life is full,
Cancer, is a *****!
No matter, what your dreams are,
No matter, what lies in wait,
No matter, who, what, where, why and when,
Cancer, does not discriminate!

Hey, you. It's good to hear from you :) I was venting. I read a story about a football fan losing his battle and a rival team's fan, said something nasty. It made me angry. Too many people are affected by this disease, I wanted to get a point across. Chat Soon. Kay
