~Cancer's Final Word~
The dark is closing in,
Fires are burning in my head.
I am trying to hang on,
I am already dead.
The radiation didn't help,
Things only seem worse.
The pain medicine is a tease,
Nothing stops the hurt.
You want me to stick around,
And watch the family grow,
I try to fight the inevitable,
It's just my time to go.
My body seems to weaken,
My cells lack defense.
I might pull through for a minute,
But then I am down again.
I keep laying in this bed,
This machine has control.
It is time to do what is right,
You must release my soul.

Condemning some to death,
Creating a battle, so many have
by Anita Smith
I can't seem to stop thinking
You hold all the power
You drag everyone you touch
Through their darkest hour
