Cancer leave me be.

Cancer leave me be.

Drifting in and out of this strange state

Enduced by something foreign to me

Seeing things differently

Black as white

Blue as grey

Colours changing different hues

What have you done

Life was set

Planned and finite

Now tossed about

Like a cork in the sea

Not what I want

Nor asked for

Controlling my fate

Life, adventure all on hold

I don't hate you

But don't want you

Cancer just let me be
