Diseased Bones
A poem about a terrible disease like cancer
Cancer in the bones, a cruel fate,
a battle fought with fear and hate,
a shadow that looms with every step,
a pain that lingers, a constant threat.
The bones that once were strong and true,
Now ravaged by a disease that grew,
A force that cannot be denied,
A foe that cannot be defied.
The ache that spreads with every move,
A reminder of life now proven,
A struggle fought with all one’s might,
A journey that tests one’s very sight.
But hope still shines in the darkest hour,
A beacon of light, a source of power with drugs,
A strength that comes from deep within,
A courage that refuses to give in.
And though the road is long and tough,
And though the battle is often rough,
There is a spirit that endures,
A heart that beats, a will that assures.
Cancer in the bones may try,
But it cannot break the human spirit’s high,
For in the face of pain…
