Leukemia : Death Poetry

written by Poet : Shelly Wiseberg


Feeding tubes

operations

spinal taps

bone marrows

saving lives

parents crying

children dying

clinging to life

on a hope.

Wishful thinking

prolonged results

death is eminant

praying in pause

attached to machines

to stay alive

battling for time

gasping for breath

inhaling oxygen.

Keeping you stable

with positive thinking

to ease the pain

only for so long

until it strikes back again

fighting to survive

through another day

never giving up

to the last moment

exhausting all possibilities

before letting go

of a sadden fate

illness in remission

or way too late.

Dedicated to those who have lost a loved one through

an illness, Love Shelly
