Cancer Signs Poem by Denice Woods
Cancer Signs
Looked over,
Passed by,
Forgotten about.
Why try?
Poked,
Prodded;
Torn apart,
Damn it, Doctor,
Have a heart.
Daughter,
Sister,
Aunt,
Wife,
Mother,
Friend,
All means nothing in the end.
Mind weak
Body sore
Can't stand chemo any more.
Here one minute,
But here no more.
The bitter taste of death,
Denial,
Anger,
Depression,
Acceptance.
Constant prayers of repentance
Mourning seems so very endless....

It is a blessing and an honor to be able to write and express your feelings on behalf of family and friends who have dealt with (and hopefully survived) this terrible disease. I will continue to do so for as long as I am able to create poetry. For the sake of anonymity I will not disclose the names of those who I wrote this for, as I do not as of yet have permission to do so. I felt compelled to write this piece for them, however, as I best express myself through poetry. Thank you. #KnowThyself
