cancer

i am the thing that eats you alive,
breats, throat, lung anywhere i can reside,
i have killed so many and will continue with more,
im as dangerous as bare-backing a $5 whore.

i've claimed the lives of thousand over many years,
the shear mention of my name can reduce you to tears,
i show no mercy and i can take my time,
me killing you is not a crime.

i can show as a shadow on an x-ray,
but when that happens it'll be your worst day,
some accept and start really living their life,
as rob zomibe once said cut it out with a rusty butter knife.

people try to beat me by raising money,
but i will strike at anyone, even you honey,
do your sponsored walks, runs, what ever you do to beat your fears,
but can you understand, there will never be a cure i'll be around for many more years.

for those that beat me your beautiful and strong,
as for the people who make fun of me your just wrong,
i hate what i am as i even strike in kids some at five,
i hate what i am because most people can not survive.

i may be all the things i said above,
i hate it, because i destroy some peoples love,
i know you want a cure and i wish there was, i do,
because no-one deserves me, not a single one of you.................
