He does not have the energy to run
He does not find things interesting
He does not think that living is fun
Both mornings, nights are depressing
He stays in his hospital bed for days
A cap covers hair when he is outside
Chances are rare to see sun's rays
He looks exhausted and teary eyed
The hospital says, it will all get better
He hangs on to that last bit of hope
From his friends, he gets many letters
Their loving words help him cope
He blames himself for everything
He can see others trying their best
If he didn't end up as a sick being
His loved ones could have good rest
So he lies that he is feeling alright
That he does not feel pain a lot
He tries to tolerate a lonely fight
He smiles with everything he got
Sometimes everything goes south
He can not hide his pain everyday
Fake lies refuse to leave his mouth
Prays he will get better someday
He wishes to become a good doctor
Someone who helps patients smile
But before that, he needs to recover
He needs to work harder for a while
So he keeps on putting a tough fight
His dreams and desires there waiting
He needs to make everything alright
Until then he decides to keep enduring

Dedicated to all the cancer patients who were and are still fighting their battles bravely.
I hope it was not offensive to anyone, i tried to write it from the perspective of a patient. But since I have not experience it myself personally, there might be some inaccuracies and I apologise for that.
World Cancer day, 4th February
World Cancer Day held every 4 February is the global uniting initiative led by the (UICC). By raising worldwide awareness, improving education and catalysing personal, collective and government action, we are all working together to reimagine a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equitable for all - no matter who you are or where you live.
Created in 2000, World Cancer Day has grown into a positive movement for everyone, everywhere to unite under one voice to face one of our greatest challenges in history.
Each year, hundreds of activities and events take place around the world, gathering communities, organisations and individuals in schools, businesses, hospitals, marketplaces, parks, community halls, places of worship - in the streets and online - acting as a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in reducing the global impact of cancer.
