Cancer/Illness

What Don't You Get?

Folder: 
Pain/Ilness

What is it about this,

that you don't get?

Why do you stand there, clueless,

to my pain?



Do I need to be writing on the floor,

in this utter agony,

or have a 'visable' deformity

or handicap, for you to 'see'?



Does my suffering

have to effect YOU in some way,

before it becomes important enough,

to even try and understand?



Do I need 'LUPUS'

stamped across my forehead,

or blinking off my person,

in a purple neon sign?



Will my death be the only clue,

that makes you stand back and think,

"Wow, I guess she really was,

THAT sick."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To all those, who just don't 'get it.'

Listen to the Heart of Life

What do you think the flower would say to this world

When its wilting to its last leaf

"This world was never to my expectations anyway"

How such beauty fades as soon as it exists

A creation emerging into phsyical presence

Eventually turns to dust and returns to this ground we walk on







What anguish would you feel

If you were to place fingertips upon a matter

The burning sensation that manifests under contact

Such throbbing remorse that dwells for mankind

Solemn, but silent. I stand smiling.





How can you know which way to be

At such mockery the hourglass teases

When all comfort of those trusted

Follow closely to the footsteps out the door

Define this feeling of lonely





Vast seas churn violently

Screaming out the truth many people do not hear

Such deafness, a gift noone should be proud to have

Children growing up into children

Whos words and actions destruct



How can you celebrate pride

That emits from those who use it wrongly

Lies upon lies of default dreams we yearn for

Built by the hands of our ancestor

Such guilt that hides behind every heart



I have so much more to give

My heart, my soul, this container of my being

Heave all troubles upon me

Allow time for these hands to mend what's been torn

A plea, the value for this lifetime

I shall not go until my work has been done



Distance cries that wash away in tides of ignorance

Outstretched, and in desperation

How does one express the importance of another

When shall the time come for them to turn around

Reunite, be together through the eye of storms



What can our ears listen to

If placed against a heart

Pass the pounding and thumping

Beyond the pulse

The music that plays our purpose



As a rock falls off the ledge and plunges within the deep sea

Fate to be in uncertainty

Watching Him Loose His Mind

Please tell me who you are

I know your face

But I just can’t remeber

Who you are

By the way

Can you tell me

Who I am

I have forgotten

I just can’t seem

To remember

Much these days

Doc. keeps saying

I’m forgetting

Everything slowly

So could you please

Sit with me awhile

And tell me about

Yourself

And about the things

I can’t remember

About me.

In Your Face

Folder: 
Pain/Ilness

Hey there you-



We meet again.

Yup,

looks like I've really got ya now, huh?

And what can you do about it?

NOTHING!

*giggle*

Ahhhh...

I love this game

when I have such an easy target

as you, my dear.



My little pawn,

watch where I move you

THIS TIME!

Come on puppet,

dance for me!

Beg me to stop.

PLEAD!

I wanna hear you beg!



"Oh please, please

big bad wolfie,

I beg of you-

won't you please, please

let me be?"



*HA!*



You hear me laugh

in my mirth?



You are nothing-

simply my vessel,

my portal,

my entryway to life!

Beg all you want,

missy-

my ears hear not your cries.

I care not for your sorrow.

*smirk*



Nah,

I LIVE FOR THIS,

you...

you...

WEAKLING!!!

*titter*

Now its MY turn!



Hey...

You got careless,

looked away-

or maybe it was just

that I saw my opportunity...

and TOOK IT!

You should know better

than to turn your back

on ME!



*tsk, tsk*

Are those tears

in your sad little eyes?



Oh, come now...let me reach out

and wipe them away for you-

here...

*SMACK!!!!*

*snicker*

Oh, what fun!!!

What utter delight!!!

Hit them when they're down,

I always say!!

*sniggle*



Yeah,

this is gonna be fun, huh?

You and meeeee...

pards, buds, pals-

FOR LIFE, right!?

Or... *tee,hee* ...

in your case,

possibly DEATH!!!

*chortle!*



Come oooonnnn...

why look so down???

You knew I'd be back.

I never really left anyways.

I KNOW you felt me

-kick you-

every now and then!

I SAW you flinch

every time!

*guffaw*



Yeah,

I'm sadistic, I know.

That's what makes me tick.



So now come on,

chin up, girl!!

How bad can it possibly get?



Oh, wait...never mind,

forget I said that...

My Time has Come

Don't be sad,

Don't be affraid.

there will be no pain,

so please don't feel ashamed.

You have done everthing for me,

and never failed me once.

So with the setting of the sun,

I know my time has come.

please wipe away your tears.

for I'm off to a better place.

I have only one regret,

and that is I'll no longer see your face.

you sheltered me long enough,

from times when they got rough.

but this is something you can't sheld me from,

because my time has come.

So as I draw my final breath,

and say my last I love you.

I see you watch as the sky goes,

with the setting of the sun.

please don't look on in panic,

for my time has finally come.

Story of Bill

Sitting on my window sill

There I stood thinking of Bill

The day I saw him on a hill

And I knew he was my only will

We talked and he told me he was ill

I asked when and he told me when he was lil’

He was sad and he had not much left till’

The curse inside of him finally kills.

In a sudden he dropped and through him ran chills

I laid him on my lap and asked for his pill

“Of them,” he told me he had a mill

“For me surviving is none to nil”

My eyes full of tears began to fill

Because there I was rocking dying Bill.
