Cancer

Damen M LaSalle 1977 (New York)

Blank verse
Hello darkness no more light
I'm just really tired to start a fight
All the whispers in my ear
Sometimes I wish I couldn't hear
What's the point of this gift
Always searching through the mist
I don't know if I'll get an answer
All I say is F*CK YOU cancer
You destroyed so many lives
No matter how much time flies
Your something I don't wish to have
I'll say f*ck you again, cos you took my Dad!
