pride

sad story-i

Today the teacher called out your name.

I didn't have the courage or the cruelty

to tell him you were no longer in school;

instead only trying to make it through the night.

Refusing chemo. Refusing wigs.

It's a sad story, really.

We all know one day this life will end

and another, far away, will begin.

But the rest of us think we have so much time.
