[hometext] => I never thought I would share this. But I think it's meant to be loved and read by everyone going through this. For my Aunt. I wish her the best.
[bodytext] => She is at war with herself With her treacherous body It shelters a traitor within her flesh That festers within her unsuspecting bosom She lets them cut her To scalpel out pieces of her soul They hollow her out Removing any growth she has Leaving her less of a person Less of a woman They place her in a monstrous machine It surrounds her in claustrophobia And they microwave her Zapping precious life from her very cells Lashes fall from her eyes Like the tears she has already shed There are many pains And many more needle pricks She is comforted only by glaring white walls And deep breaths of sterilized air There is nothing anyone can do Now or afterwards The people around her pray And the doctors shake their heads No one has given up But no one knows what to do But we embrace her We are family We are friends She holds our hand And we share our love As we are for as long as we are She groans in the face of the constant agony And presses reflexively on the morphine button She lets a soft sigh release from her lungs Heavy with exhaustion her eyes droop She tries to relax into a bed that is not her own It may be excruciating and she may not wake up But she goes to sleep with a smile sweet upon her lips [comments] => 1 [counter] => 140 [topic] => 55 [informant] => EverlastingDawn [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
