Cancer
Living life carefree
Going here, there, and everywhere
You’re in charge
Going and coming as you please
Cancer enters
No invitation
Takes a seat
Front and center
An uninvited guest
Chemo the bouncer
Kicks Cancer to the curb
All seems well
For a while
Cancer returns
Wearing a different costume
We’ve been keeping watch
Another round for Chemo the bouncer
It was a tough fight
It was a knockout
Victory
Living life Cancer Free

Congrats! Very happy for you, Jazzy. The idea of cancer returning in a different costume … wonderful phrasing for such a scary turn.
I appreciate your comments. The poem is not about me but inspired by those I know who have battled and won. To honor their journey.
