Unknown

The doctor confirmed my greatest fear yesterday,
I didn't know how to take it, and I didn't say anything,
My eyes did the talking,
The doctor, she said it can be slowed down,
But trying to listen to her I didn't hear a sound.
My mind was racing with so many questions,
"How could this happen to me?"
"Why me?" "why now?" 
My eyes are like a water fall,
and creating a stream down my face.
I think of the treatments,
I wonder how I will survive,
I create a world beyond imagine.
Hoping maybe that world will change my circumstances.
