HANG IN THERE

I feel so damn unhappy
Cancer is so rough
The constant pain and agony
Me trying to act tough. 

The fear that plagues me day and night
All the pills I have to take
Now more radiation
Make it stop for heaven’s sake!

No one knows my feelings
Guess, I don’t expect them to
But stop telling me you understand
When you haven’t got a clue! 

I’ve tried my best but, here it comes
More chemotherapy
How much more? Is it all done?
This cancer’s scaring me!

MRI ‘s and Cat Scans
Needles, lines and all the wires 
I can’t say no, but I want to
I feel like I’m on fire. 

There’s poison running through my veins
Fighting for the greater good 
Killing off  those cancer cells
Hopefully, the way they should. 

Guess I have to  step it up
It’s a battle I can win
I just have to stay the course
Through all the rain and wind!

I have good days and  bad days
I could use some chicken soup
Maybe recall some memories 
Of us sitting on our stoop.

The love of those around me 
Helps me …. yes, it gets me through
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers
And, the love I feel from you.
