Talked the talk, walked the walk, Lived the nightmare.

Talked the talk, walked the walk, Lived the nightmare.

A Poem by Onlyme

I feel like I am sinking.
Further and further
deep, down. I go.

I know he is not coping.
And I am, 
trying my very best
to support him.
But  alas,
I am trying
to keep myself going
at best too.

But the reality is.
We are fucked.

How ironic is that?

It's like the blind leading
the blind.

The hospital is great at
appointments and treatment.
But when it comes to practical
support and help. Forget it.

When you ask questions to a
dietitian. She is just
general and none persific in her
reply. So ultimately she is not
very helpful, to your own needs.

As to a psychiatric nurse. Oh,
don't start me there.
She just didn't care
or even bother to listen fully at all.

To what you told her.
She was blinkered like a horse.

To busy wanting us to be her test subject
and to make herself look good.

I guess the point, of this, is basically.

The only ones who properly understand
are your own family and people who have
been in the exact same situation as yourself
with Cancer. And who do actually
support you and your loved one? And the loved
one who it sadly is actually happens to.

As they have walked the walk
and talked the talked, and lived the nightmare.

And that is so sad to hear. In this modern age.
The support is not properly their, as well at least
for us or him more so.

Thank god for the Macmillan cancer support and
Maggies Center. As they lived the nightmare too.
