Thoracic

The doctor said;
​​​​​yes, she said, 
"stay in bed."

The hospital is a very lonely place, 
A place where worries come face to face. 

I've been waiting days now;
days for answers, 
To see if it's actually cancer. 

Have you heard the rumor? 
I have a thoracic tumor. 

Could it be? 
I don't want to worry, 
But I'm in a hurry. 
I need answers. 
I really hope it's not cancer. 

God, don't you think I'm going through enough? 
I know I have to be tough, 
But this waiting game is rough. 

I just need to know, 
Yes or no. 
Where'd everyone go? 
my support system is leaving, oh no. 
I'm feeling very low. 

Like, this is a huge deal, 
Do they even know how I feel? 
Obviously not, it's so surreal. 

If they're not there for me now, they'll never be again. 
​​​​​They're not my friends. 
They said they'll be there until the end. 

But I can't let that get me down. 
I can't frown. 
Gotta smile, 
Let it last awhile. 

Kari, do you know what you're capable of? 
You've gone through so much, love. 
You've gotta be happy. 
Life... Try me.
