You don’t understand our pain,
How we feel from day to day.
And now I will explain.
Before I fly away.

We have cancer.
And as you try to find a cure
To kill away this dark attacker,
Our death comes premature.

I had cancer when I was younger and this is just a little something to help explain things.
