Come Back
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

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.
