Doctor walked in face like stone
Words hit hard cut straight 2 the bone
Stage 2 maybe 3 its in ur chest
Heartbeat stopped man I failed the test
Yesterday I was living just fine just me
Today I'm a patient with a new enemy
My mama cried quiet tears soaked the floor
My dad punched the wall screaming no more
My friends they don't know what to say or do
Some vanish like shadows some stick like glue
I feel weak but I fake being strong
Staring at the mirror like what went wrong
Chemo drips poison but it's life I'm sipping
Some days I'm drowning some days I'm gripping
Lost my hair but not my will
Every pills a hill but I climb still
I'm angry I'm sad I'm hopeful I'm mad
Life's a cruel joke but I'm in the last laugh
To my family I see your pain
You carry my storm you feel my rain
But don't give up no don't lose sight
I'm more than this war I'm still your light
To the fighters out there who battle the same
You're not just a patient you're a name you're a flame
Cancer sucks yeah it takes and it steals
Rips apart dreams leaves scars that don't heal
But I'm here still standing won't let it define
This fight’s not just theirs this fight's also mine
Doctor said the word it hit like a train
No warning no signal just a flood of pain
Life flipped in a second thought I had time
But the clock's ticking now and the hill’s a climb
Tears on the floor can't breathe through the weight
Tried to call someone but words came late
Mirror shows a face that don't feel like mine
How do you fight when the war’s inside
Mom's in the corner praying for grace
Dad's trying hard but I see his face
Sister's cracking jokes but her laugh is thin
We're all in the ring but it's me that's pinned
Needles and pills the routine sets in
Days feel heavy like they'll never begin
Hope’s a shadow but it's still in the room
Fighting for light when the world feels gloom
Some days I scream some days I pray
Some days I laugh just to push it away
But every moment I'm here I'll stay
This battle’s mine I won't let it stray
Cancer sucks yeah it tears you apart
Breaks your body but it can't touch your heart
Through the anger through the tears we rise
Resilience grows where the pain collides
Needles in my veins drip drop the meds
Head shaved clean but I still hold my head
Doctors speak in riddles charts in their hands
I'm here on this table making a stand
Every pill a mountain every hour a climb
But this hart beats steady 1 day at a time
Chemos a thief it steals my taste
Food like cardboard no time to waste
Skin pale as moonlight nights feeling long
But I hum a little tune keep my soul strong
Radiation burns scars on the skin
But deep in my chest the fire won't dim
Family in the waiting room love in their eyes
They keep me breathing my sunrise
Every side effect every fite i face
I find a piece of me in every space
Cancer sucks but I'm still here
Thru the pain thru the fear
Hold my hand wipe the tears
Were stronger than this louder than fear
Cancer sucks
Dedicated to everyone
