No ONE ....LIKES TO BE  TOLD....

No ONE ....LIKES TO BE TOLD....

A Poem by Onlyme

No one
likes to be told
bad news of any kind
particularly
if you're got Cancer
Or
going to live
a short time

How would like
to be told that
devastating fact?

No one would.

Oh how hard
it is
to
be on the side
of that loved one
and trying
to
so damn hard
to support
fight
and assist
in making
them feel better
it's really hard
to do

The frustration
anxiety
anger
and the uncertainty
to name a few
feelings

Really is draining
overwhelming
and heartbreaking
to see

As you are stuck
in a vicious cycle
of not knowing
what to do
for the best
for your
loved one

I just want
to run
and cry
and scream
Oh, Why?

I really feel
for others
in the same
situation
as myself
Particularly
if it's a baby
or a young child
or a teenager.

Someone who
has hardly lived
a life
in general.
That really does
upset me so.

But each
new day
that comes
alone
We try our very
best to make
them smile
and feel better
the best we
as loved ones
can do.

But it does
take a toll
on us
as well.

As we are
only human
too.
