cancer is the word



I wonder in my sleep I wonder when I'm awake the question is how much more can I take can I take the loneliness can I take the pain
Can I take the fight that won't end
Can I take the voices that say I'm so brave
Can I take the pressure of staying in the fight that I know I can't win
I wonder how long I will be able to fight just to please others so that they can feel all right
