Cancer, come find me

No matter where I go

I am haunted by the sound

of a million voices

desperate to be heard.

The chatter – incessant

until one single voice

silences the rest.

A question?

A challenge.

My hands are empty

and I am left to decide

Do I dare prove him wrong?

For now, I walk alone in the land of the living

and I must wonder

Who among us can silence him?
