"A day without smiling is a day wasted." -Me


Dear Cancer,

 

Guess what? I'm still here

And what I have to say is that you were a pain

But I miss you

A heavy burden that made me question my existence every day

But now I want you back

 

When I had you

People showed that they cared

Friends and family supported me and showed the love they had

 

But you cared the most

You didn't want to leave me no matter how many times they tried to take you away

 

Now you're finally gone

Free from me

And I'm free from the trouble that was you

 

But as I keep living

I see that there are harder things to face than you ever were

I no longer care about the pain I went through with you because life hurts even more

 

Back then I had no stress

Back then I was happy

Back then I felt a reason for living

Back then I had you

 

I was sick, yes, but at least I could've died peacefully

Now the rope in my hand is begging to be hung up

And I along with it


If you couldn't kill me

Then I suppose I'll do it myself


The author's comments:

My sophomore year was very challenging for me and at one point, all I could think of was that I wouldn't have to deal with all my problems if cancer had done its job when I was little. I wrote this poem to express my feelings toward cancer and how hard life can be.

I am doing much better now and still cancer free! Never give up or lose hope because there's a reason we're all still here.
