Soon I will die
and I want you to know
I wish you all luck
before I must go
this cancer I have
is deep in my side
spreading so quickly
destroying my life
the poems I write
help ease the pain
but not enough
it's hard to explain
one month ago
I found this out
when the doctor said
that time's running out
I don't want to die
I want to stay
but god calls me closer
each and every day
when I die
remember me
your lucky
cause you still get to be
I know this is short
but so is my life
I can't help it
I'm about to die
