Cancer
When the doctor said, "Cancer",
The phone call turned surreal,
And every moment became divided
Between before and after.
My life ceased centering around living
And metamorphosed into a schedule
Of doctor appointments and CT scans,
Uncomfortable procedures and surprise bills.
I bare a mark,
Not of Cain,
But of Abel.
Abhorrence is being a victim.
I look in the mirror,
And wonder why
Dorian Gray chose to hide
Inside one of my organs.
I am early,
Or so they say.
Then why do I feel
Like a later version of me?
Why do I feel obliged to find
The bright side
For those who
Feel obligated to care?
Is is that word?
"Cancer"
Even though I feel fine,
Is knowing too much?

This will be my thoughts on what it is like for me at each stage of being a writer. It starts with me as a complete unknown. Who knows? It may end there. In any case, hopefully it will be of interest
