Breast Cancer Poem by Katniss Everdeen

Breast Cancer

Rating: 3.0


Aunties very ill
Goes away
Has some tests
And is made to stay

Mum says she sick
She might not make it through
I don't know what's wrong with her
I have no freaking clue

Watching the TV
Sitting alone
Are her two kids
Wondering, if their mum is coming home

Friday night
Visiting hour
We bring chocolates
And a bunch of flowers

Aunties lying in the bed
She doesn't look alive
Now, even I'm not sure
If she's going to survive

Mum goes out
To buy some drinks
I get close to my auntie
She doesn't even blink

'What is happening to you? ' I say
'I demand to know an answer! '
She looks at me with eyes so sad and says
'I'm dying of breast cancer'

This poem is for my auntie who managed to survive this killer disease. Thankfully now, she is healthy and fit. It is also to all the unluckier ones, who couldn't beat the disease. I'm sorry.

Hi Lili When i saw ur biography i felt i really wanna c wat a thirteen year old girl can write, i didn't expect this level....I had a look at some of ur poems they r really great and i was amazed by wat a girl of ur age can write.Honesty in this poem is outsanding, b4 i read that iy's ur aunt is who was sick i could figure it out by ur concern about this topic that someone much related to u is affected for u could express it Keep On writing.Well done lili PLus ur poem Candlelight is a v gd piece i liked it.
