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 Iā€™m still full of living,
Although my inner walls are faltering....
Itā€™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.
Itā€™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.
Itā€™s nice to some.
Then evil to others when it comes out to play....
Itā€™s a mixture of feelings
From the sufferer and their nearest and dearest...
A form of torture,
Well for me anyway,
As Iā€™ve been living in limbo these past 21 years...
A chain and ball,
Dragged along behind you.
Pulling you backwards in life,
Until your backā€™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 Iā€™m not in the next worlds kingdom.
Itā€™s like my sun,
Revolving around me.
Radiating itsā€™ 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.
Thatā€™s the only thing keeping me alive,
Thatā€™s the reason Iā€™m continually in need of more.
If I were to suddenly give up,
Within weeks,
Itā€™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€˜proverbsā€™,
Cancer within you,
Hopefully never makes.
Or if already started,
No more life up for grabs,
As your life isnā€™t there or ready for the breaks!
Take what you can,
When you can.
Never leave anything to chance...
