Cancer

I found out about you when I was thirteen.

You made your presence known.

Only God knows how long you had been

lurking inside of me.

Only He knows how long you had been

growing

trying to take over my body.

I don’t know why you came to me.

I guess that’s just what was meant to be.

You shook us up,

but we didn’t give up.

Things were dark like the night,

but we chose to fight

battle after battle we began to see the light.

You put us to the test.

We gave you our best.
