A Journey Lies Behind Mine

a poem about my struggle with leukemia since I was 14 (I am now 16)

Every moment of time, is a moment to cry;
    but those tears can pass on by.
Because a story lies behind everyone's eyes;
    and journey lies behind mine.

"Time is of the essence". Isn't that what they say?
    as it passes by, day after day.
There's a time for work, and a time for play;
    but it seems all my time is a time to pay.

I'll sit here and wait until they find a cure.
    something not simple, something not sure.
My whole life awaits. I'm so young, so pure;
    but right now, my life is a chore.

My hair falls down, and i hold it close to keep
    for me, beauty is no longer skin deep.
I'm taking a huge step, a giant leap.
    from this moment on, I'll shall not weep.

Every moment of time, is a moment to cry;
    but those tears can pass on by.
Because a story lies behind everyone's eyes;
    and journey lies behind mine.
