What is cancer

A few explanations of what Cancer is to me

02/01/2022
What is cancer?
Cancer is....
Really just a word to describe something losing in life or simply dying.
Yet I’m still full of living,
Although my inner walls are faltering....
It’s A pain in the arse or anywhere it strikes.
Like A bowling ball,
And I the skittles,
Being bowled down,
One by one.
Smashing through my centre,
Leaving a split between the pins...
A section of life that gets taken away.
It’s just pot luck what they remove at the end of the day...
A disease that rips through whole nations.
Triggered off like a nuclear blast.
Although we all have it apparently.
It’s nice to some.
Then evil to others when it comes out to play....
It’s a mixture of feelings
From the sufferer and their nearest and dearest...
A form of torture,
Well for me anyway,
As I’ve been living in limbo these past 21 years...
A chain and ball,
Dragged along behind you.
Pulling you backwards in life,
Until your back’s against the wall....
A detrimental affect and burden on family and friends,
Your own life decimating too...
Cancer,
What a death defying word to some.
Death has been seen,
Yet still I’m not in the next worlds kingdom.
It’s like my sun,
Revolving around me.
Radiating its’ harmful rays.
Right Through to my inner worlds core.
Forever there damaging me,
Depleting me Forevermore.
With every breath that I take my life depletes,
Even when I sleep,
With every snore.
The only difference is the medical weed that I smoke.
Taken from daily store.
That’s the only thing keeping me alive,
That’s the reason I’m continually in need of more.
If I were to suddenly give up,
Within weeks,
It’d have me on the floor.
Not just knocked out,
But knock,
Knock,
Knocking,
on heavens,
Proverbial door.
Cancer cometh.
Cancer wreaks havoc.
Cancer takes.
If you listen to my ā€˜proverbs’,
Cancer within you,
Hopefully never makes.
Or if already started,
No more life up for grabs,
As your life isn’t there or ready for the breaks!
Take what you can,
When you can.
Never leave anything to chance...
