Thoughts of the Hour --- 10/9/09

Cancer

Leave me empty, leave me naked.
Leave me hidden under
A knit night-cap
Make me embarrassed, make me ashamed.
I've got no fault in this, yet it is me that keeps getting blamed.

Blamed for the expense, blamed for the time.
Blamed for everything else YOU can't take responsibility for.

You are a LIAR!
A burglar and a thief
I'd love to throw you in jail,
But you're already in my cells,
Calling them your own home.

You are close to my heart.
Closer than anyone will ever be.
Closer than is possible,
For human, or technology.

You live inside of me,
Draining energy,
Taking my hopes and dreams away from me

The white-blood-cells can no longer help

Because the chemo kills more than the cancer itself.
