Matthew Hunter

The hallways in my mind seem so long to travel, Lost in my thought its a constant battle, as the lids close and the lights are out, the wheels turn the mind shouts, screams for assurance of a safe tomorrow, but unanswered questions always follow, faith life disease stand on the brain, insomnia creeps through my veins, no matter what I try to do, sleeps not an option with what I'm going through, I try I try I try again, but a coward called cancer settles in, through my blood it strokes back and forth, making all the whites start to morph, finally when I can't take no more, my body shuts down like the night before, in mere hours ill rise with a new regard, the courage to fight that can't be jarred, my will has changed from slumber time, where only dark surrounds my mind, now a light is coming through, I see my mission and what I have to do, each day i grow with a knowledge assured, that this blood thirsty creature fears my spoken word, try and win I laugh aloud, ill live a life that makes me proud, you will not win you won't you cant, my hope is as high as the angels chant, these days of sun preparing me for war, the fear of night haunts me no more, until the day I'm cancer free, ill fight like hell to make me be.
