The poison lives in my soul.
Sweeping through my veins.
Brining destruction to me.
Leaving only remains.
Some days im free.
Others im held down by chains.
Letting the sun warm my skin.
Through the little window pains.
A cough from deep inside.
Metal taste that makes me wonder.
A drop of scarlet on my hand.
I would tell you if I didnt stutter.
Hateing the world.
For their careless mistakes.
Not knowing enough.
They dont know what it takes.
A shot in the arm.
The pain it comes.
Grinding my teeth.
My body goes numb.
Hating myself for giving up this fight.
Noone to comfort me.
Noone to care.
Noone to love me, or just to be there.
New medicine to try.
Its just been apporved.
Its better than Chemo.
But im still sick and used.
Watching the elderly pass me by.
Living out life.
Wisdom from years.
Wondering if i'll ever join them, brings me to tears.
The pain it comes.
No sleep tonite.
Hearing only sounds.
Of my body losing the fight.
My stomach clinches.
No food for days.
I cant stomach the taste.
Only to sleep to wash it away.
This poison is slowly leaving me dry.
Take a look at how you want to die.
I dont have too.
As i look down from the sky.
Please tell me what you think

Very good
As a cancer survivor, who just recently went through the trials of surgery, chemo and radiation, I can relate to the feelings expressed in this piece on a personal level. Many times I just wanted to give up and let death wash over me, but my faith kept me in the fight. I am now in remission with a new perspective on life and a new awareness of how precious life really is. There is always hope.

I know we cannot really share this with another when are are going through what you describe, but reading what you have written makes me feel the rawness of your emotional pain although I have never experienced the physical part. You have a gift with words. God Bless you.

This is truely heartbreaking
The visual imagery and emotion in this poem leaves me speechless. If this is a true poem, I pray to God that you may one day walk with the elderly my friend. Peace be with you and God bless you. ~Gar -
A graphic write which comes from the soul. I can't imagine how hard it must be to deal with that sort of pain, but I know many have to. This is a heartfelt write. Thanks for sharing. Kath

Heart Wrenching
I know all this all to well. Although I did not go through it myself, the emotions I can testify to, and the pain and meds my mother could to as well. SHe was a cancer patient, and she had a rare agressive form of it, they did all they could, yet it was not enough. I lost her in Aug 6, 1997. Altyhough the tunnles seem dark and long, you are loved, and you are wanted as well as looked after. What ever I can do for you, at anytime, I will do my best to do it. As you can see, this poem stirred up alot in me, and I am very glad you wrote it. Blessed be Jack, love and light always unto you.
