My Cancer #3 by <strong>Lesley</strong><br />

Feeling tired; my mind’s a mess<br />

Nightmares continue; you couldn’t care less<br />

You’re taunting me all through the night<br />

I wake up crying, heart pounding with fright<br />

On bad days when I’m in despair<br />

I know which friends will truly care<br />

It hurts when some now turn their back<br />

I guess it’s empathy they lack<br />

My progress appears to be getting slow<br />

But so determined to reach my goal<br />

“Its early days” the professionals say<br />

But it’s me that counts each hour, each day<br />

I know that I should be grateful and glad<br />

That my bonus days aren’t always bad<br />

You nearly took my life away<br />

But sunrise greets me as I start each day<br />
