Talking To Cancer

I have become what you have made of me A setting stillness in the air You fail to see how much I’ve changed I am here, just trying to say I am afraid and you are deranged! As my thoughts now thundered And my pain meandered And so you sauntered, at free will You were a savage who ravaged As you held your weapon of pain to my head Until you try to make sure I am dead You tried to make me crazy But the bullet I bit, made you hazy I over came you, and made you lazy Till you vanished without a trace! 2.6.2021 FIRST PLACE For my sister who fought breast cancer and overcame it.
