CANCER

THE BATTLE

cancer wont win

Born in a dark shell without a shadow so I'm created fierce. I'm ready to roar! now my vision out of sight. I ain't ready to fight. Life pushed me in heavy. This place too live and this heart beating on my Simba's pride. Body pour through the bayou like fresh streams of Safari. A treasure glittered in wonder. how come I've never been here before. Gracefully walking down my brand new. I am Warrior, defender of thee castle. Not a soul in view to stop me. I am king, queen, future leader of my fight. Grow stronger to aim higher. Mufasa swinging loud bangs as I glide with pride. ( pride rock) Chest arched ,head risen. tribal flow. 5th Avenue,, Shaka Zulu bounce. Dance in my finesse . Feeling this thunder! So I'm gone roar louder. Village under attack . This scar creeped up on me fast. I'm sick body bruised and misuse. This prey came quick knocking me off my Prime. I fell hard yet you won't win. Came out of a dark place still my light can shine gold. Sick with a nasty Beast. You won't win you can't win. I ain't ready to fight . I ain't ready to quite either. This sickness was never a friend it was a frenemy. Body cold so cold but you won't win. Fell from high. still I survived. I've survived cause I know I can win. I'll win. come harder swing harder than Mike Tyson fight. I'm warrior I don't come to play . open my eyes big smiles. Ready to shine like the Horizon. cancer you shall be beat. I got a lot of life yet. you shall be defeated. I'm stronger.. I'm strong.. cancer you are the frenemy that will never win
