    I am mortally scared.

    i wonder how long my life will last.

    I hear my cancer growing. A ticking clock. A gnawing beetle.

    I see the end.

    I want to live.

    I am mortally scared.

    I pretend I can still plan for a future.

    I feel I may just slide into my past.

    I touch my photographs, my memories.

    I worry I'll be forgotten in a day.

    I cry because I'm scared. I can't be brave.

    I am mortally scared.

    I understand it's a lottery and there are losers.

    I say I don't care too much. I try to lie.

    I dream a cure and wake up gasping.

    I try to sleep again and dream that same dream.

    I hope that when it happens I'll be sleeping.

    I am mortally scared.

    Source(s): I didn't use too many big words. I didn't get too many laughs in either.
