Cancer.

Cancer:

The entity that slowly murders,

Kills not only a single person,

But an entire family.

 

Cancer:

The parasitic creature that lives inside the best of us,

And slowly eats organs from the inside out.

 

Cancer:

The poison that not only murders a person,

But all of their hopes and dreams in life.

 

Cancer:

The single most destructive weapon,

In the war against yourself.

 

Cancer:

The murderer that sometimes has no reason or explanation,

And appears rudely unannounced.

 

Cancer:

The scourge I hate most in this world,

And would do anything to erase.
