Frustration & Anger at......helpless.

Frustration & Anger at......helpless.

A Poem by Onlyme

Frustration & Anger
of having Cancer.
Not being able to
control your
own destiny

Feeling vulnerable
and
now useless and
scared at how your
life will turn out

These qualities you
hate the most.

Holding on to old ways
of how you were.
Before you became ill.
Grasping at straws so
to speak, wishing you
where whole again.

Angry that you are ill
with a wicked disease.

Everyone around you
thinking they understand
how you feel.

When actually they really
have no clue fully how
it affects you.

As it's not happening
to them.

Your mind is constantly
working overtime
and you can't sleep
or eat properly.
Your moods are up and down.

Every day you are in pain
and emotionally you are
a wreck also.

The hospital staff is nice
and considerate. Your family
tries to understand but truthfully
they don't grasp it totally. And
you feel so alone and lonely
fighting this Cancer.


24/7 it's with you a
companion
all the time
on your back
taking you bit by bit.
Even during treatment,
it's a constant demon taught you.

It's awful to see you suffer
but I am lost also in trying
to help and support
you.

I do try my best at times.
It affects me too.
