I am Cancer

Waking up...
I am alive again
but this time I will not fail.
My powers seem infinite
I can feel myself spreading like ink – black spidery legs spreading out
tainting and consuming all that is touched.
But I am far more deadly than words.
I reach the furthest points of all –
I consume all that you are, until finally
like a poisoned rose you fade away,
forgotten by all.
While I remain
bringing terror among all
young and old, I do not care
I am here for one purpose...
to bring pain and misery to all
touched or untouched
I bring all to their knees.
People dread hearing my name
they shriek and their insides churn.
I’ve struck fear into the hearts of all.
I grin at death my faithful aquaintance
years of horror and hatred towards me
only one opponent stands against me
Love is its name
a truly powerful enemy I agree
but I am unstoppable
I am...
The reaper of lives
the devil’s assistant
I am...
Cancer.
