The hollow walls of my empty sole reek of forgotten dreams,
Dreams of becoming something, someone only to realize I’m paralysed.
I’m stuck in this place, between these caged walls,
My insomnia keeping me awake,
As the cancer spreads though my veins,
Alone, scared and left behind in this world.
The aggravating pain of my body slowly shutting down,
I wish I could just end this,
End all my suffering today.
The danger almost makes it worth the pain,
To feel something with such a rush
Gives me such a high.
A high I can’t deny, for only to feel something,
Something other than the pain,
I know I can survive.
The cancer may have my body but I sill have my soul.

so sad
This is such a sad write. I feel the pain in every line, and to have to live with such terrible pain every day is a curse. I would imagine that death might be welcomed in such a case.
Keep writing. I like this one a lot.
