It's getting harder to breath
It still isn't real
You just went to the store
Your parents house?
The sand dunes?
To save your son again?
You're not gone.
You can't be.
You're too much of a fighter
And it still isn't real.
There's no way.
The word cancer is just another word
But its as though my lungs are on fire when I say it.
The word cancer is just another word.
But the jokes that are thrown around carelessly are like throwing knives and I am the target.
The word step
Was a misconception.
You were more supportive than
The one who's title doesn't include that word.
It's getting harder to breath.
It's real.
