Dear Cancer

Dear Cancer

A Poem by Urja Gokani

Dear cancer,

I know you’re in me

But I wanna show the talent within me

Yeah dear cancer,

I wanna show the dancer within me

Whatever you do baby

I’ve got those moves lately

Dear cancer,

Do whatever you want to do

Make me cry, let me die

But I won’t

Cause baby I am a step ahead of you

So I don’t care

Do whatever you wanna do

Bite me, kill me,hate me

I don’t care

Cause I think you’re mistaken

I am not the one you should compete

Cause you’re the one I will beat

So hear it for the last time

You’re dead to me

Do whatever you wanna do

You won’t be able to let my soul sleep

Cancer can hurt your body, but you can stop it from hurting your mind. It's incredible how humans can focus their thinking to dissociate from pain. I respect how your poem has a hopeful message that cancer can be overcome.

We may not decide how long we live, but we can decide how we live.

Love this ! People are not defined by things they cannot control. I can feel that many who suffer from grave illnesses can certainly relate, and if not relate, maybe this poem can give a bit of hope. Beautiful.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This is the first time I've heard such a message! It's so original & the tones of defiant strength are so awesome & refreshing! This is the attitude it takes to beat cancer, so I've heard. If I got the diagnosis, this is exactly how I would feel, too. I especially love the way you've woven in details of a life that's not ready to let go . . . the narrator hasn't danced her last dance yet! This is a great poem. I hope this isn't a true story for you, tho! (((HUGS)))

A truly inspiring poem..No one can ever think of writing a poem on cancer. The poem clearly states that you should live your life, dance and have fun no matter what happens. Good thoughts! You are an amazing writer:)

Very amazingly written, Cherry. Tell me you don't have cancer.
The way you have presented your point in this poem alludes to the audacity of the person suffering from cancer, but that person has not turned despondent, instead, she is willing to fight cancer. Saying that you are one step ahead of cancer is a great thought and expresses how fearless you are and the fact that you do not wish to evade death, rather you wish to live life. Keep writing.

Absolutely beautiful! It almost reads like a song and it's so tragic! The rhythm is almost entrancing and the idea of showing cancer that you can still dance and be who you want to be is inspiring. Keep writing, I love it :)
