Analysis of Cancer
It sneaks up on you when you don't know it's there
Eating you away with nothing to spare
You think of all the ways
That you could get better soon
But it never goes away
It stills wants to be in you
Swallowing you whole
Like it cares
It just wants to kill you
So you are left bare
With your will power gone
To live, to keep pushing through
And then like that....
It takes you.
