Uninvited Companion
A companion is defined as a close friend
Well I have an uninvited companion
You cannot see it-- It is invisible to the eye
Yet reeks havoc in my life
My life is not the same as it was-- never will be
This uninvited companion is Cancer
It made my life hell on earth
It kept putting obstacles in my way
It took me down to my knees
But I picked up myself up by my boot straps
And continued to fight with all my might I had in me
It will not rule or run my life
I will give it a swift kick into the darkness behind me
Is that light I see at the end of the tunnel
As I emerged from that tunnel I raise my flag in victory
The flag tells the whole world that I am a survivor
I know my uninvited companion will always be lurking
And trying to find ways to raise its ugly head
If I have anything to say
It will stay in the darkness of death
I AM ruler and survivor of MY LIFE
