I cry, I shiver,
I quiver at the thought of leaving this earth before my time is up.
The battle is hard, the days are long,
the nights drag on, what did I do wrong?
I push my family away, they come back stronger.
How can they understand my emotions,
when I can not understand them myself?
I sit confused, lonely, frustrated, angry, mentally and physically drained.
But then again, I am lucky- Smile.
I have a family that cares and loves me,
a God who is always there, right beside me, who never leaves or forsakes me.
My needs are simple, my wants are more,
but I settle for less and I am satisfied with what I have.
I dream of the future and I remember the past.
I lay my head down to rest, the thoughts go wild;
another day closer to winning this battle,
another day closer to victory.
