Why Me?

My feet dangle off the chair
While my body feels the cold air
It's quiet and empty all around
As I feel naked wearing this gown
A knock on the door startles me
While what I hear next, I can't believe
I'm paralyzed with a sick feeling inside
As reality and my nightmares suddenly collide
How can this happen to me?
I am just a girl, I am only sixteen
I still have a whole life left ahead
My heart breaks and I feel as if I were dead
The Doctor says there is a chance it's not bad
Everything will be okay, no need to be sad
Her words I can't seem to understand
While tightly she holds my hand
I can't help but search for some sort of answer
Cause how can I, just sixteen, a girl have cancer....
