Cancer Poem

Inspirational Poem For Fighting Cancer

Recently I did Race for Life, I have done it a few times but this year it meant a lot more to me because my Grandma had found a lump and we thought it might be cancer. I wrote this poem the night I found out about it. Fortunately, my Grandma had the lump removed and all is okay now, but it could have been a lot worse.

Cancer

Published by Family Friend Poems December 2013 with permission of the Author.

One day you showed up,
With no reason why,
You claimed your victims,
You've made grown men cry.

I'm warning you now
That we're all fighting back,
One day we will stop
Your unprovoked attacks.

You've proven your point.
You make me sick to the core.
You've left so many waiting
Outside of death's door.

Enough is enough.
You can't ruin lives forever.
You've torn apart families
That were happy together.

Nobody knows
Why you're even here.
You're not wanted, you're hated.
You take those that are dear.

There's no explanation,
But I want an answer.
I know what you are;
you're that murderous coward they call cancer.

You've got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide.
We are coming to get you,
So say your final goodbyes!

Cancer is a life changer and heart breaker. It takes someone close to you and kills them. It has made grown men cry because they are sad that their loved one has died. We all try to fight back, but most of us can't because we don't have any more life in us. One day we can't fight back anymore and we die from your attacks. You have proven your point to so many people. You make people sick to the core more than once. You have left so many waiting and outside of death's door and leave them alone. You should not ruin lives forever, although you still will. Why are you even here? You take those who are loved from us and those who are dear. We love them, and you just take them from us. I want an answer, but we will never get one. We are coming for you. Just say your final goodbyes, and this time hopefully you will never come back for anyone again. You took my Meme away from me. I hate you. I really loved her a lot, so you are so evil to my family. You have taken multiple people away from me and my family.

My grandmother had gotten cancer and everyone was devastated by the news. She was in and out of the hospital until she had to stay in there. She wasn't allowed to go home until the house was secure with handrails due to her falling over one day. By then the cancer had gotten worse and I couldn't take it anymore. One day, I went to school, got my education for the day and went home. Later that day, I had gotten the terrible news that she passed away. The funeral was a week later and everyone was in tears. She was a single mother with two sons and five beautiful grandchildren. Just reading this poem touched me and it will forever be my favorite cancer poem.
