I’m STAGE 4

struggles are soo real..

The clock is ticking in on me
Every breath taken amputates a part of me

There was no pressure initially,
just abnormally thoughtful
That was carcinoma in situ
You would say potentially,
I was Harmlessly powerful.
How could I’ve fought the wind ?

There came stage 1
Actions were localized
As if they could be easily ostracized
Yet the impact were generalized
Progress was at once initialized.
How could I’ve smashed the mountains ?

So stage 2 became reality
No conscience in deeds
And positive growth seemed immoral
Corruption in its entirety.
How could I’ve buried the ocean?

Stage 3 was inevitable
Salvaging options were unthinkable
Spiritual Chemo or biblical radiation!
None was improbable.

Now I’m stage 4
How could I’ve escaped the light?

So many stages yet your resilience is remarkable. Whilst you can think and create as you do, you should and can applaud and wish you all you wish for yourself - God sent or by any means.

Not speaking idly, this also points to three of my siblings.. I understand best I can.

So sad. My sister-in-law had stage 4 bowel cancer just over two years ago, but she not only survived, she has now been declared all clear, which is very good news. Good luck with your progress. A poignant and well-written poem!
