A Talk With Cancer

A Talk With Cancer

Cancer says "hey Im gonna kill you"

But i say "not today, I have many things to look forward to in my coming days"

Cancer says "come on your through"

I say ”no thats not up to you, dying is a choice something for me to decide to do" 

Cancer says "you need to live your life because any minute could be your last"

I say "nope!! I'm not ready to go, my life wont end that fast"

Cancer says "look at yourself don't deny ive made your bed?"

I say "geez your very persistent don't you have better things to do insted?"

Cancer says "I'm asking you nicely to prepare to let it all go"

I say "how many times do I have to say it Cancer! No it flippen means no!"

Cancer says "have you said goodbye to everyone you loved in this life?"

I said "I dont want to because I dont believe you, I know that for once I am right"

Cancer says "well this conversation is going nowhere, are you sure you don't wanna say farewell"

I say "I may look like I'm dying bruh but I'm telling you I feel very swell"

Cancer says "don't say I didnt tell you so, I gave you time to let go and explore"

I say "you dont know what your talking about, the docs say that chemo is like a cure!"

Cancer says "Ha! Well your a fool sucked in by this little dream

I say "cancer go away I don't have the energy to scream!" 

Cancer says "I'm sorry, but its time for us to depart"

I say "please don't do this to me man! You know its gonna break my families heart"

Cancer says "its just a way of life, there is no medicine to stop me yet"

i replie "Yes i know this is true, its time I stop fighting You" and i whisper goodbye to my family and friends.

I look up at the ceiling, wishing it was me who was healing, as cancer leads me to that undesirable, yet irrepressable end.

Hi Angel 

Thank you so much, I dont actually have cancer it was a poem I wrote during my active participation in the shave for a cure foundation. ? I just thought if I was the one who had cancer what kind of conversation would me and cancer be having? and this is what I felt would be the most truest, Knowing how I'm a fighter, a survivor of many challenges in life, I dont think i would be as willing to accept my end. ?
