I find myself
In an utmost position
Of which is overrated
Trudging through of what I do
Hoping it doesn't end this wat
Stuck in a rut
Unable to change
The pathway narrows
As a hand reaches out
Offering its icy embrace
With my dying breath
I give my last request

3 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I feel both empowered and meek. My life is limited.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.
