Poems by a teenager

The Fault In Their Stars

---All credit to The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for inspiring this poem type thing---

The fault in their stars

Was not in their illnesses

But in their hearts

They bared witness to the most ghastly events

And they still stood strong

I can't say stand

For one is dead

He died a peaceful death

They say

We will never know of course

We can only hope

As for her
She continued fighting

She stayed strong

Through his death

And through her pain

Cancer is a thing we live with

It takes us over

You may be told that pain is a side effect of cancer

When in fact

Pain is a side effect of dying

As is cancer

People will tell you

Everything is a side effect of something

But in reality

Everything is a side effect of dying.
