The Worst Part

The worst part of cancers
Is waiting for answers
And the second worst part
Is the strain on the heart
Of all of your family and friends
Next on the list
Is just feeling pissed
Because number four
Is that there might be more
And you’re just not sure where it all ends
And a lot of the rest
Are just test after test

I see you have been reading some of my poems. Thank you for making my day! In the last 10-12 years I have probably written 1000 poems and I do it mainly for the reactions they get from readers. keep reading and let me know what you think. Mike

A poignant write. At least these days more and more cancer victims are surviving, and survival rates are getting better all the time. We have to live in hope. Regards, Robert.
