LOST

There is that vast ocean

Of cancer, one that lies to be seen

And she stands at the bank

Eyeing the serenity at the other bank

Would she be able to swim through

To her loved ones? Could tales of others winning be true?

Should she stand rooted

Until back waves get her uprooted?

Or with victory in mind swim

And take the opportunity to dream?

This is the time to drink some cancer

Or be drunk by cancer

She looks at those who love her

Those who never saw her sail into the pain

Those whose buses of lives left without her

Think they have many times and memories to gain

With her

Yet she sees them waving from the other side

Not hearing their words travelling to her side

This is it

Life which cannot fit

Every juncture of her life, hurdles sit

Waiting for her without merit

She feels completely lost.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

Great poem. It really resonates with me right now. This out break or bout of sickness that I have been going through. I assume the C in Mum C was Cecilia. I did not know that you have had cancer. Some times writing lets out the despair like nothing else will. Then you get up and dust yourself off and carry on with life.

The C stands for Cecilia, although poetry strips people naked, But Let me say, maybe I stepped into the shoe of a patient. Honey, nice of you to be here. Thanks for your kindness.
