Just a cancer patient


Just a cancer patient



Maybe it was just a dream 
having chemicals in my bloodstream 
feeling the burn that would make me scream 
so much pain preventing my beam


maybe it was my brain's reaction to fear 
maybe it was the lack of air 
waiting for the symptoms to appear
it didn't make sense when they said all clear


feels like living in a trap 
mind can't keep up with all the crap
lost in the middle of nowhere without a map
pain attached to me like a shoulder strap


4 needles on each arm 
they said treatment Would Do no harm 
they also said the fifth one was a charm 
but then they stopped when they heard the alarm
