Lung Cancer - Diagnosed December 13, 2010

Yes, you have Cancer
How bad? We don't know
Test after test
The results will show.

I'm afraid I can't handle
The results I'll be given
Or the quality of life
That I will be living.

Radiation and Chemo
The two words I dread
Do I go through the hell
Or would I rather be dead?

“Positive thinking” is all that I hear
From family and friends
That can't feel my fear
It is not the fear of dying that's torturing me
It's the fear of living the way I will be.

I don't want my loved ones
To experience the hell
As I lay dying in bed
Eventually a shell.

If my time on earth
Is meant to cease
I pray Dear God, I go in peace.
