Free Myself - cancer awareness poem

Posted Date: : Nov 15, 2009 11:10 AM

I'm counting down the days

No more painful days

I'm tired of the meds

I want to run away

I can't control myself this time

I want to be fine

I want to free myself

Free myself from this betraying body

I don't want to go through this alone

I'm scared

I'm scared of death

Please don't take me away from my kids

I want to see my grand kids

I want to be there for my son and daughter

I am not just a mother

I am also their father

I want to free myself

I want to be free

And these meds have taken over again

The toilet has become my best friend

I cry as I stumble through the hallways

There I lay

Afraid that my family will hear me

I don't want my kids to see my like this

I wish the pain would go away with one simple kiss

I want to be free

Free

Let me be
