Cancer..... Needs To Be Kicked Into Touch...

Cancer..... Needs To Be Kicked Into Touch...

A Poem by Onlyme

You hear about it everywhere
but until it happens
to someone close to you
Cancer

It really does screw
your life up bigtime
and your families
and friends

The person it's happening to
they just can't get their head
around it properly at first
they are shellshocked
stunned
then numb
then anger
frustrated
mad
stuck in limbo
I could go on.

Spare a thought
for someone with Cancer
young
teenager
middle-aged
old
whatever age
It's a wicked disease

That a lot of people
shun away from
and never ever
talk about
Well, I'am.
Because
it's important.

For everyone
to understand
How it affects
these poor souls
and their loved ones.

Wholeheartedly agree with you Dee. It is a devastating disease. I know many survivors, people in various stages of treatment and also friends and relatives who have died. It touches everyone, especially the loved ones. They seem to find it even more difficult than the patient.

I agree Dee. I have lost many to cancer. Cancer doesn't care if old or young. I pray for a cure for cancer. Too many lost to the cancer. Powerful and worthwhile shared my friend.
