Seven Stages of Cancer
Cancer is the beautiful lie to your ugly truth.
A natural disaster that randomly shows up.
First stage,
I'M BROKEN
I can hear the cracking of my fist as I punch the wall.
As I hear the trees and houses crumbling D
O
W
N
“Why me?”
I’m lost in the pills of break through.
In the wind that flows with the lost pictures coming out of the crumbled down houses.
Stage three,
Nothing’s working !!!
Shift in my appearance,
As the leaves change from bright to with no color and fatal because the emptiness all around.
Stage four,
“Who, what, where am I?”
Telling them the truth shatters my heart like a broken glass, in pieces on the floor.
As the people who lose their homes, and have to start over again.
Stage five,
Facing them
Hair disappearing, they making sure my smile doesn’t.
Forgetting about the lost values, and creating new memories.
Stage six,
Support system
Fighting through it all, like a warrior who receives a battle wound but keeps on going to survive the tough battle.
As the people who lost everything, are moving into a new home, and adapting to their new lives.
Stage seven,
“And I will always love you”
