That girl with the shiny head,
And blank canvas;

For 7 years;
Cancer consumed her;

5 rounds of chemo,
And 2 surgeries;
She was finally free,

But never free,
Of the taunts,
That follow her

She was fed up;

7 years of fighting--
Wasted

She took her life;
Before cancer could

Her head;
Will never shine again.
