Radiation Beast--a poem

I do not know if I am ready

For what’s about to happen

I thought I was strong, but this…           

This has been harder than expected

A battle arises within me

A trial that could be trapping

One side of me says, “Give up”

While my God is saying, “Let not your joy be affected”

I cry because I was torn

Not in my faith, but in my direction

I may be losing my hair

But My God sees me as perfection

I took control when I let it go

My hair is not what defines me

My trust is in You, God

As I read James Chapter 1, verses 2 and 3

So understand this,

Please hear this above all

I will continue to persevere

I will continue to stand tall

There is no sickness in this world

That can take away my content

No cancer too mean

For my will to live is relentless
