Silent Kill

My sisters and brothers I start a journey today that Leads to shadows and doors closed I embark on a journey no living soul Could care to escort a living dead Dead I was declared with no hope of survival Surgical means failed to Bring me back to life A wish hoped for Killed a pending dream This virus killed a pending dream A dream of successes hoped for For I am to sick This virus so cruel Having no mercy on an innocent body I gave myself over treatment days and nights Spent in a cancer treatment facility Needles penetrating my body All in the name of treatment Oh...how much longer X2 Should I wait for the day of victory It seems it's long coming Dreams deminished Oh...how cruel can this virus be Having no mercy on a living dead Wished to arise Like the sun would every morning Rescue me X2 From this dreadful virus As I sink into a tunnel with a wish to return By : poetic B

I don't know if this is fiction, or if it is really happening to you. It is a terrible disease, and the treatment is horrible also..... You have written a beautiful poem. And I welcome you to PoetrySoup.
