Poetry Series – Cancer

Do you believe in the human ability to heal? What do you know about energy?  Belief?  A treatments success is determined internally by these.

Are you ever scared of yourself?  Your story, maybe?

Cancer

There’s an ache in my bones, calling me back to my roots.
This human need for structure and stability are killing my dream and dragging me right down with it.
I’ve been thinking of quitting and had my ancestry handed down the skill of knitting, I’d weave my anger into something worthy to throw without stripping it of it’s ability to offer warmth through the cold.

I think you should know – we’re infected.
Honest to God, maybe cancer is just misdirection.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Andrea Gibson and the mailbox predicament and how the cancer kept surfacing every time they were scared and waiting for someone else to hand them permission for staying.

I’m scared I’ll be hated for saying it.
The truth I mean, of everything I’ve been witnessing.
My testimony.
But a lump keep growing in my throat every time i choke down my need to speak.

Silence is a deadly disease, injected by those cloaked in authority.

It’s not a conspiracy to question the validity of the opinions of your medical team – or to reject their suggestions in favor of what your body deems necessary.

You can trust yourself, honey. 
You were never the enemy.
You have been gifted with a voice to speak what your eyes can see.
Your story is one worth telling and if you need an audience –
We’re right here listening.

Its okay to be scared.
The truth is healing.

Much love, until next time.
