Why is this happening to me?

by Tiffany M   May 3, 2008


Waking up to hair on the pillow,
more and more fall out everyday,
my body looks like a leopard,
from all the deep blue bruises,
why is this happening to me?

wanting to give up the fight,
unable to move my frail body,
my life is soon starting to fade,
like a ghost off into the night,
why is this happening to me?

Everyone looks and stares,
like im some kind of zombie,
watching my dreams fade,
the days are getting shorter,
why is this happening to me?

Doctor appointments everyday,
radiation is killing me,
crying into my baby soft pillow,
praying to god this will end,
why is this happening to me?

My hair is gone,
my eyes are all cried out,
im skinny as a twig,
the cancer is taking over me
why is this happening to me?

    by Trying to hold on

    The sadness and reality of this piece made the hairs on my back stand on end. So pwerful, deeply gut renching.
    You've expressed this in such an honest way.
    This line will and does stick in the minds of many "why is this happening to me?"
    A question that we'd all love to know the answer too. It's the not knowing that is hard to understand because there really is know answer, unfortunately it is the way it is, we are the way we are, thats how we were made, thats part of the life we got given and who knows maybe there is a reason but we just have to try and fight for what we want, thats all we can do.
    Keep fighting, my prayers are with you.
    Well done on this piece, 5/5
