The cats out the bag

The cats out the bag

The tongues may wag

But the ones who care

Are already there

No longer ashamed or reason to hide

Head held high to beat this with pride

Of what I’ve read and heard

At times yes I’m scared

But thoughts and fears

Lead to worries and tears

Oh but it’s alright to cry every once in a while

And when you’ve let it all out wipe those tears with a smile

See a smile is infectious to all that you see

And a smile received back makes a happier me

Positivity and well-being shine through my soul

Nothing stands in the way of achieving my goal

And with the help and support from people I greet

This cancer I will conquer and once for all defeat
