I've got

I've got..... I've got skin cancer, bone cancer, lung cancer too, I won't ever let it beat me, if it's the last thing I do. It'll never define me, there till my life is due, Holding on to days new grown, finally like my future's shown. Looking back at my life, I take from it what is good, Separate from the past, living in my cancer's hood. At just 16, my body felt depraved of what I knew it would, Taking different foods, just not the one I should. Made to feel ashamed, of the bud, the leaf, the wood, Although they are my saviour, I nearly died, cos' of bad behaviour. I was sent away, for 2 months, way back then, Taken away, from all my brethren. In the hood of cancer, I stand tall, Fighting every day, I won't fall. Through the pain and the lies, I rise, With every breath, I defy the skies. Looking back at my life, I take from it what is good, Separate from the past, living in my cancer's hood. At just 16, my body felt depraved of what I knew it would, Taking different foods, just not the one I should. I've got skin cancer, bone cancer, lung cancer too, But I'll never let it beat me, if it's the last thing I do. In the hood of cancer, I stand tall, Fighting every day, I know I won't fall!
