Enlighten Me

As I lay in this bed,

My face full of dread,

I wait for this day to end.

My life was fine before,

The cancer came at my door.

Day and night I fear,

Waiting for a miracle to appear

I wish I could say I’m not afraid,

And make this nightmare cascade.

Many nights I cried myself to sleep.

My mom begging me to eat,

But I already felt defeat.

Days, weeks, and months passed,

And I felt like such an outcast.

Until one day when someone enlightened me with their hope,

And they said to never give up on life,

Because it’s the most precious thing you have.

And today almost eight years since my battle with cancer

I’ve realized that there’s a reason why this happened.

I just haven’t found out yet.  

My journey continues

In a sea full of hope

To find an answer

As to why this happened to me

And discover what I was meant to do in life.

I see the world with different eyes

And today I’d like to give it a try.

A/N 

So I wrote this thinking about my past and how I felt during my treatment and stuff going through all of that. I am proud to say that I'm a cancer survivor. I was only 9 at time when I was diagnosed with cancer. It will be exactly 8 years this year on December 5 that I was declared cancer free. I am honestly proud of myself going through all the emotional turmoil during that time and all that other stuff I had to go through. 

Your past does not define who you are.

It is only a part of you.
