Don’t you remember those days

When we used to go to parades

When I used to get hit and the head

And you would laugh and say I’m dead


Don’t you remember when momo died

And everybody cried

All I had left was you and I


I held on to that last strand

I even tried out for band

When i found out that I didn’t make the team

I just wanted to scream


I started moving on with life

And found out that I had cancer and had to fight

I tried to do my best

And just let it rest


To me life is so hard

Before mama died she said that I was born to be a star

But with cancer to fight

I might as well just end my life


Being a star I always dreamed

But now things aren’t as easy as they seem

I hold back tears everyday

But some just end up sneaking away


Before Daddy left to go to the military

He said one day I will soon marry

He said I would be happy in life

But I don’t think I would be the perfect wife


Granpa said I would be rich

I said I would roll in a ditch

I don’t think I will make through life

I guess I’ll just have to fight

This is about a girl whom went through lots ar hardships in life and has cancer and doesn't know if she will live the rest of her life. I wrote this poem to express some of my feelings and my sadness for loosing my dog Bossy to breast cancer(I had no clue dogs could get cancer).
