i hate cancer

Destiny, dust in these,
Closed eyes, closed mind,
Back to wall, face towards
My decline, I'll rewind,
I'm reminded of how I winded
Down the staircase to the maw
An avalanche of open claws
Pulled me into the open jaws

Mouth agape, too late
hesitate, wait a moment,
Speculate, grab myself
Stolen token, wooden eyes hadn't opened,
Cheating death in the critical moment,
Open wound, bled a lot,
Cauterized with a lighter my friend had brought

There's a chance, the open door,
Tooth knocked out, even score
Jaw was loose, tried to chew,
Took a second to pull on through,
Falling down, hear it cry,
Threw a dagger in both eyes,
Watched it flail, watched it writhe
Tasted blood, I'm still alive

Still can fight, still can save
Still believe it's not too late
Still believe the impacts great
Still the water around my fate
Stills the water around my lake
Calm my nerves, calm my energy
Hold to peace and serenity
Keep it close, wound still closed,
Hurts like hell and the devil rose
Hadn't chose, to fall back now
Can't turn around without my vows,
Without my left,
without my right,
With all my will, I'll push and fight,

And promise me, that so will you
I can't go on without you too
So don't hold back, give your all
We'll stay with you, catch your fall
You might be scarred and wounded still
You might feel weak on a broken hill
You can change that with just your will

You have an army to hold you up,
So don't fail me now, don't give up
We're here for you, the light is too,
What will you choose
What will you do
