Today is World Cancer Day. Each year 4th of February is celebrated as "World Cancer Day" to increase the awareness about Cancer- Word's Deadliest Disease. Each year 13.6 million people are diagnosed and 7.6 million people die of Cancer.
This poem celebrates those who let their spirits, hopes and courage fly unbounded even when Cancer has imprisoned their bodies. Each verse has been written to represent the flight of a bird.
"Eyes wet, hands are shaking;
For test reports you're waiting.
When you hold it, you wonder,
How could it all go wrong, still ponder.
Those silent prayers yield this answer?
That you're diagnosed with cancer.
The body is hospitalized but not the heart or soul;
Dreams, Passions, Emotions, my love and my goals
Cancer can take away few tissues or cells;
But can't really harm my true inner-self.
All it needs a little try
Like a bird rising in the sky,
All the suffering I defy,
I don't fear, Look into its eyes,
Like a bird rising in the sky
Unchained, Unharmed, Unbeaten I fly.
The nurse comes and pricks the needle in
Drop by drop, the medicine pours in.
The muscles twitch and the head's spinning,
A rush of pain, through the skin.
The clocks ticking, the hope flickering;
It's a tough battle to win.
The body is hospitalized but not the heart or soul;
Dreams, Passions, Emotions, My Love and My Goals
Cancer can take away few tissues or cells;
But can't really harm my true inner-self.
All it needs a little try
Like a bird rising in the sky,
All the suffering I defy,
I don't fear, Look into it's eyes,
Like a bird rising in the sky
Unchained, Unharmed, Unbeaten I fly.
Lost the hair but not the hope,
Climbing through this steep slope.
The body feels weak, but the heart's strong;
Everything's getting right which was once wrong.
Now the chemo is a habit and radiation a trip;
The climb is almost done, don't loosen the grip.
The body is hospitalized but not the heart or soul;
Dreams, Passions, Emotions, my love and my goals
Cancer can take away few tissues or cells;
But can't really harm my true inner-self.
All it needs a little try
Like a bird rising in the sky,
All the suffering I defy,
I don't fear, Look into it's eyes,
Life a bird rising in the sky
Unchained, Unharmed, Unbeaten I fly.
Now I don't sigh and I don't cry asking,
"Why I?"
Now the tears are dry and with sparkling eyes;
I fly high in the enthralling sky.
I fly, I fly."
